The Florida Panthers desperately needed a win and they got it. Jonathan Marchessault scored two goals, Thomas Vanek had a career-high four assists and the Panthers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 7-2 on Tuesday night to stop a five-game slide. Frederik Andersen allowed three goals on eight shots before being replaced by Curtis McElhinney to start the second period. Marchessault's second goal put the Panthers ahead 4-1 at 4:38 of the second period after he redirected a pass from Barkov past McElhinney. The Panthers answered with a power-play goal by Jokinen with 27 seconds left in the period to make it 6-2.
