The Florida Panthers exploded for five first period goals and cruised to 6-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators at Amerant Bank Arena. Florida opened the scroring just eight seconds in, which is a new franchise record. After Tomas Nosek won to opening draw back to Seth Jones, the defenseman sent the puck languidly into the Ottawa zone off a Senator.
