Panthers' Marchessault bolsters surprising season with 30th goal

Yes, you read that correctly. Jonathan Marchessault is a 30-goal scorer.

The Florida Panthers forward hit the benchmark Monday against the Montreal Canadiens, taking a feed from Michael Sgarbossa, out-waiting goalie Charlie Lindgren and sliding the puck by him to tie the game.

Marchessault, who had eight goals in 49 career games entering this season, leads the Panthers with 30 in 2016-17.

He also ranks third on the club with 51 points. Not bad for a player Florida signed for two years and $1.5 million total last July.
