Florida Panthers forward Gustav Forsling scores with 4.3 seconds left in overtime to defeat the reigning Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes 1-0 in the teams’ season opener. His shot beats Hurricanes goaltender Brandon Bussi, ending the game just before overtime concludes.
The game appears to be headed to a shootout, with Carolina holding for a late Florida push. Yahoo Sports reports that Carter Verhaeghe carries the puck into the zone with less than 10 seconds remaining, giving Florida one final sequence. While both outlets describe the decisive goal and the late-game context, they differ mainly in wording rather than in the outcome or key events.
Overall, coverage emphasizes the timing of Forsling’s goal and the narrow margin, with Florida preventing any breakthrough by the Hurricanes and closing out the contest in overtime.
