With Colorado defenseman Brad Stuart serving a tripping penalty,
Boyes - who also recorded an assist - moved up from the right point
to hammer home Jonathan Huberdeau’s pass for the winner. Brandon
Pirri, Aleksander Barkov and Sean Bergenheim also scored, Jussi
Jokinen notched two assists and Roberto Luongo made 30 saves for the
Panthers.
Defenseman Tyson Barrie, captain Gabriel Landeskog and veteran Alex
Tanguay tallied for the Avalanche, who are winless in four games
(0-2-2). Ryan O'Reilly registered a pair of assists and Reto Berra,
who returned from a lower-body injury, stopped 32 shots.
Pirri scored from the slot following a turnover 4:43 into the game
and Barkov swept home a cross-ice pass from rookie defenseman Aaron
Ekblad at 13:03 to give Florida a 2-0 lead. Barrie capitalized on a
5-on-3 power play with a one-timer from the left point 10:51 into
the second session and Landeskog tied it 31 seconds later with a
one-man advantage.
Jarome Iginla stole the puck and fed Tanguay, whose shot pinballed
past Luongo at 14:41, but Bergenheim deflected blue-liner Dylan
Olsen's shot by Berra three minutes later. Berra made a big stop on
Nick Bjugstad from in close midway through a scoreless third period.
