Avalanche-Panthers Game Evaluation

Sunrise, FL (Sports Network) - Stephen Weiss recorded the second hat trick of his livelihood and netted the lone goal in the fifth round of the shootout, as Florida snapped a five-game winless stroke with a 6-5 victory over the Colorado Avalanche at BankAtlantic Center.

The Panthers appeared to be on the verge of a win in maintenance before Colorado scored twice in the final minute with the netminder on the bench to force overtime.

In the surplus session, Florida defenseman Keith Ballard injured another goaltender -- this time it was a former teammate -- when he gone an edge while driving to the net and crashed into Colorado's Craig Anderson.

During the first period of Monday's loss in Atlanta, Ballard, visibly frustrated after Thrashers' captain Ilya Kovalchuk scored, accidentally hit Tomas Vokoun with a baseball-like pace on the side of the helmet.

Anderson was shaken up on the collision, which occurred with 42 seconds remaining. Colorado defenseman Adam Foote right now pummeled Ballard behind the Avalanche net, resulting in a power-play for the Panthers.
