The overwhelmed Panthers are defeated by the Hurricanes 8-2

The fourth preseason game was a game to remember as the Florida Panthers were defeated 8-2 by the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena in Raleigh.

The Hurricanes have built a roster heavy with NHL regulars while the Panthers have not, and it was clear from the start that a one-sided defeat was in the offing.

Seth Jarvis defeated Spencer Knight twice and Josiah Slavin, Sean Walker, Jordan Staal, Jack Roslovic, William Carrier and Andrei Svechnikov also scored goals for the home team.

After playing hard in the first half, the Panthers trailed by five points before Oliver Okuliar redirected Mike Benning’s shot past Frederik Andersen with 3:27 left in the second half. Zac Dalpe had the second assist on the power play goal.
