Trocheck shocks Blues with late winner, making history for Panthers

This five-game road trip will go down in Florida Panthers history.

The Panthers completed a five-game road sweeping versus quality Western Conference competition with a Hail Mary winner off the stick of Vincent Trocheck on Monday night.

With under five ticks remaining on the game clock, and well after both teams had appeared to tacitly agree on overtime, Trocheck snapped a quick shot toward goal that Blues netminder Jake Allen didn't see through a crowd of bodies.

It marked the first time the Panthers have ever completed a five-game road trip with a perfect record.

Beating the Predators, Sharks, Ducks, Kings, and Blues in their own barns in the space of nine nights, the Panthers have now moved into third in the Atlantic standings, and sit four points back of the Montreal Canadiens for tops in the division.

The Panthers won four times in regulation, and outscored the competition 22-13 on the trip.
