The Carolina Hurricanes fell behind 2-0, but made a game of it before falling to the Florida Panthers, 4-3 in overtime on Monday night in Sunrise, Florida.
Fred Andersen played the first two periods in goal for Carolina and allowed two goals on 20 shots. Nikita Quapp played the rest of the game and allowed two goals on 17 shots.
Bradly Nadeau almost had his fourth goal this preseason off of a beautiful backhander, but after a review the goal was taken off the board due to him being offsides.
Shortly afterward, Givani Smith got his team on the board when he scored his second of the preseason from in close.
Alexander Nikishin tied things up with a nifty wrister with less than three minutes left in the second period.
After Florida retook the lead in the third, Justin Robidas tied it up again.
The Canes spent much of the end of the game killing penalties and sure enough, the Panthers would score with the man advantage early in the overtime.
Givani Smith had a team high seven hits to go with his goal. He also chipped in with three blocked shots.
The Canes will close out their preseason schedule with a game in Nashville on Saturday night.
