SUNRISE, Fla. -- Jeff Skinner scored his second goal of the game with 3:55 left in the third period, and the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Florida Panthers 4-3 at BB&T Center on Tuesday.
Skinner broke a 3-3 tie when he one-timed Derek Ryan's pass in front of the net for his fifth goal in three games.
"He's at the net, he's doing things right," Carolina coach Bill Peters said of Skinner, who has 28 goals. "He went at the net hard on the game-winner and got rewarded for it."
