NASHVILLE — Goaltender Roberto Luongo made 32 saves to help the Florida Panthers defeat the Nashville Predators 2-1 at Bridgestone Arena on Thursday.
The Panthers (12-9-4) have won four consecutive games, including three straight on the road, where they are 6-4-2.
Florida blocked 21 Nashville shots.
Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne made 14 saves. The Predators (13-8-4) are 8-3-2 at home and 2-5-1 in their past eight games.
Quinton Howden gave the Panthers a 1-0 lead at 14:59 of the first period on a wrist shot from the slot. The puck caromed strangely off the boards, which allowed Howden to get around Predators defenseman Mattias Ekholm and shoot it past Rinne for his third goal.
Jonathan Huberdeau gave the Panthers a 2-0 lead at 11:24 of the second period on a power play. Huberdeau set up in the slot and one-timed a pass from forward Aleksander Barkov past Rinne for his second goal.
