Panthers Erupt for Five First-Period Goals — Including Fastest in Franchise History · Mar. 31, 2026
Florida exploded out of the gate in Sunrise, as Noah Gregor's goal just eight seconds into the game set a Panthers franchise record for fastest goal to start a game (topping a mark set in October 1996). Matthew Tkachuk finished with four points (1G, 3A), including three assists in the first period alone, to pace a dominant 5-0 first frame that effectively ended the contest before the second period began.
