Panthers go 2 for 2.


The Florida Panthers won 3-2 over the Calgary Flames to win both games in the pre-season series
It was almost as if it was another home game for the Flames, although the crowd just couldnt help the Flames get a win.
Daymod Langkow opened the scoring in the first on the power play, when taking a shot from the circle that just snuck past Panthers goaltender Tomas Vokoun.
Florida got back into the game when Rostislav Olesz picked up on a turnover by Anders Eriksson and beat Flames goaltender Curtis McElhinney.
The Flames went up 2-1 when captain Jarome Iginla fed a pass to Grant Stevenson to score the goal. Didn't last long untill Florida's Martin Tuma hammered a shot from the blueline with 8 minutes left in the second period.
All three shooters for the flames could not convert, along with the first 2 shooters for Florida. Jozef Stumpel ended it on Florida's third shot.
McElhinney played the whole game for the Flames making 26 saves, while Tomas Vokoun and Tyler Plante split the time for the Panthers.
Next games:
Calgary at Vancouver. Wednesday, Sept. 19. (10:00 p.m.)
Florida at Chicago, Thursday, Sept. 20. (8:30 p.m.)
