The Florida Panthers were as dominant as they ever have been in winning a franchise-best 12 games, a streak that ended Monday with a 3-2 overtime loss to the Vancouver Canucks on the second night of a back-to-back swing through Western Canada.
During the dozen-game run the Panthers scored three or more goals eight times, allowed one or fewer goals eight times, posted two shutouts, won six one-goal games and won six games on the road. Yet they still came up five short of the record for the League's longest winning streak, a 17-game run by the 1992-93 Pittsburgh Penguins.
In fact, despite all their dominance the Panthers only got 70 percent of the way to the Penguins' record win streak, becoming one of nine teams win 12 straight.
