The Panthers have played three straight overtime games under Brunette, who took over last week after Joel Quenneville resigned as part of the fallout from the way Chicago handled allegations of sexual assault by a player against another coach in 2010. Bobrovsky is day-to-day, according to interim coach Andrew Brunette. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped all 13 shots he faced before leaving after the first period with an upper-body injury. Spencer Knight stopped 25 shots after entering the game to start the second period. “It wasn’t pretty today, but managing to get the win against a really good team, you’re going to be happy with that, but then there’s a lot of things we can work on.” “I think that’s the biggest thing you can do in overtime, just hold on to the puck and make them tired,” Barkov said.
The Panthers never gave up possession of the puck in overtime.
