If you missed Wednesday's game in Sunrise, the Panthers' new second line stole it. With Sasha Barkov out for at least another few weeks, Sam Reinhart has stepped in at center, and Sandis Vilmanis and Carter Verhaeghe are riding with him.

Vilmanis scored twice at Amerant Bank Arena, the first two-goal game of his career, and added two assists. Paul Maurice said, “They were our first line tonight.” The trio combined for four goals and nine points.
