Verhaeghe stole the puck from Anaheim defenseman Jacob Trouba behind the Ducks' goal before putting it into the upper right corner of the net to extend the Panthers' lead to 3-1 with 1:11 remaining in the first period.

Mackie Samoskevich and Tomas Nosek each had two assists, and Sergei Bobrovsky made 28 saves for the Panthers (28-17-3), who have won two in a row for the first time since a four-game winning streak from Dec. 16-22.

Rodrigues scored a goal on two shots, blocked three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks. Rodrigues has done well in a bottom-six role recently, earning three goals and an assist over his last six games.

Sergei Bobrovsky is the proven veteran. Spencer Knight is on a bit of a hot streak. How does that impact how Paul Maurice is going to handle reps between his two goaltenders?
