[jersey-xy]

http://www.officialpredatorsstore.com/authentic-63-mike-ribeiro-jer... VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Daniel Sedin scored his second goal of the night on a power play at 2:21 of overtime, and the Vancouver Canucks stopped the Florida Panthers' 12-game win streak with a 3-2 victory Monday.

Sedin snapped a shot past Roberto Luongo with Jaromir Jagr in the penalty box for hooking and tied Markus Naslund's franchise record for goals with 346.

With the Canucks celebrating on the ice, the teams came together near the benches with a lot of pushing and shoving. It appeared to start when Vancouver's Derek Dorsett approached the Panthers' bench after Sedin scored the winner. Florida players were making their way to the locker room but turned back after Dorsett shoved backup goalie Al Montoya. A number of players from both teams then began throwing punches as referees tried to break up the fights.
Jake Virtanen also scored for Vancouver, which got 26 saves from Jacob Markstrom.

Eric Staal Youth Jersey Jussi Jokinen and Jonathan Huberdeau scored for the Panthers (26-12-5). Luongo made 27 stops, but his nine-game win streak ended.

Virtanen tied it with 2:38 left in regulation on a shot to Luongo's short side. The rookie's second goal of the season came after Markstrom made a couple great saves, including a stop of Steven Kampfer on a 3-on-1 moments before the equalizer, to keep his team in it.

Down 2-0 after the first, the Canucks got one back at 5:41 of the second when Sedin finished off a nice passing play with his twin brother Henrik by whipping a backhand past Luongo for his 18th goal of the season.

Part of the trade that sent Luongo back to Florida from Vancouver in March 2014, Markstrom made a nice pad stop on Aleksander Barkov later in the period to keep his team down one heading into the third.

Lucas Duda Kids Jersey The Panthers, coming off a 2-1 victory Sunday in Edmonton, opened the scoring 80 seconds into the first when Reilly Smith jumped on Markstrom's poor clearing attempt and fed Jokinen, who scored his sixth of the season.

Luongo spent parts of eight seasons in Vancouver and was serenaded with "Luuuu" chants from the crowd throughout the night, especially after great saves on Sedin, Bo Horvat, Emerson Etem and Jared McCann to keep his team in front.

The Panthers rewarded that strong play with 32.3 seconds left in the period, when Huberdeau beat Markstrom upstairs off the rush to make it 2-0.
