SUNRISE, Fla. — Troy Terry and Mason McTavish scored in a shootout and the Ducks beat the Florida Panthers 3-2 on Tuesday night.
Leo Carlsson had a goal and an assist, and Cutter Gauthier also scored to help the Ducks end a five-game road trip with a victory in coach Joël Quenneville’s first game against his former team.
Quenneville, who coached the Panthers from 2019-21, returned to Sunrise for the first time since resigning as Florida’s coach after details of a sexual assault scandal involving his 2010 Stanley Cup-winning Chicago Blackhawks team were revealed in October 2021.
Quenneville was banned from the NHL for nearly three years for his handling of the situation before taking over the Ducks in May. He won three titles in 10 years with the Blackhawks and last coached for Florida on October 27, 2021.
Carlsson scored a shorthanded goal midway through the second period to extend his point streak to four games. He contributed to Gauthier’s power play goal a few minutes later to give Carlsson a team-high 11 points this season.
Lukas Dostal stopped 31 shots for the Ducks.
Anton Lundell and Sam Reinhart scored for the Panthers. Reinhart scored the tying goal – his fifth of the season – with about three minutes left in regulation after the Panthers led 2-0 midway through the third.
Daniil Tarasov made 15 saves.
The Panthers, whose depth has already been strained this season due to a series of injuries, were without forwards Jonah Gadjovich (upper body) and Brad Marchand (personal reasons).
