The Panthers lost defenseman Aaron Ekblad to a lower-body injury in the first period, but after the game Florida Interim Head Coach Andrew Brunette said it didn’t appear to be as serious as initially feared.
“It’ll be a clearer picture tomorrow exactly what it is, but yeah, it was positive news tonight and we’ll go from there,” Brunette said.
John Gibson allowed three goals on 42 shots, and the Ducks dropped to 0-4-2 in their past six games.
