Aleksander Barkov logged his first multi-goal game of the season as the Florida Panthers beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Monday at Amerant Bank Arena. Florida improves to 38-21-3 and is on a four-game winning streak. Tampa Bay falls to 35-21-4 and saw its eight-game win streak snapped.

This one featured more scoring chances than Saturday’s game, though, and the Lightning generated enough opportunities to tally more than one goal. Unfortunately for them, Sergei Bobrovsky delivered a terrific performance in net. In addition, the Lightning unluckily hit two posts in the third period.

Florida got Jones and a 2026 fourth-round pick from Chicago for goaltender Spencer Knight and a conditional first-round pick in next year’s draft.
