The Florida Panthers spoiled Carolina's banner-raising night with a dramatic overtime victory, as Gustav Forsling scored with just 4.3 seconds remaining to beat the Hurricanes 1-0 in Tuesday's NHL season opener.
Forsling's shot got past Hurricanes goaltender Brandon Bussi in the closing seconds of overtime, sealing a "playoff-style" win for the Panthers on a night when Carolina had been set to celebrate its recent championship pedigree.
The game featured the NHL's last three championship-winning franchises on display, adding extra weight to a season-opening matchup that came down to the final seconds.
The result gives Florida an early statement win to start the new campaign, while Carolina will look to regroup after a tight defeat despite the ceremonial atmosphere surrounding the banner unveiling.
