The Florida Panthers capped off an emotional night in spectacular fashion on Thursday.
On a night where the club paid tribute to the victims and survivors of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., forward Vincent Trocheck brought the crowd to its feet, scoring the game-winning goal over the Washington Capitals with just 18.7 seconds left in regulation.

Prior to the opening puck drop, goaltender Roberto Luongo delivered a touching speech directed at last week's shooting, calling the students of the school "an inspiration to all of us."
