Gameday, Panthers @ Flyers, W, 3-2 (shootout)

Panthers-Flyers Preview

Oh that was a sweet game!! José especially shone in the 3rd period, OT and the shootout! He stopped all 5 shots in OT (and the Panthers had NO shots in the OT period, so he was busy at his end.) Then he had two nice saves in the shootout, and with Huberdeau and Mueller the Panthers actually have good shootout shooters this season! It was beautiful!!

José saved 30 of 32 shots and here's Coach Dineen's post game quote:

He just decides that he's going to stand up and be a difference maker. He did a heck of a job. The overtime as well as the shootout, that was a big-league game by a starting goaltender.
