Sam Reinhart snapped a third-period tie with his first goal of the season, then added an empty-netter, as the visiting Florida Panthers won 5–3 over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday night, Nov. 6.

After recording a career-high 33 goals last season, Reinhart needed 13 games for his first of 2022-23. Amid a net-front scrum, Reinhart got his stick on the puck and beat Anaheim’s John Gibson (43 saves) to break a 2–2 tie just 2:55 into the third.
