OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) Reilly Smith and Vincent Trocheck scored 8 seconds apart in the first period and the Florida Panthers extended their franchise-best win streak to 11 games with a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night.
Aleksander Barkov also scored for the Panthers and Roberto Luongo won his career-high ninth straight start behind 30 saves.
Florida's streak is the NHL's longest since Boston won 12 straight in March of 2014, according to the NHL.
Max McCormick and Milan Michalek scored for the Senators and Craig Anderson stopped 13 shots.
In the first period, Luongo made a great save, and on the ensuing play, Smith deflected Jonathan Huberdeau's shot to open the scoring at 12:01 on the Panthers' first shot of the game. Trocheck made it 2-0 after Ottawa's Fredrik Claesson turned the puck over trying a no-look pass from the end boards out front of his own net.
