Canucks End Panthers 12-Game Winning Streak, NHL News

The longest winning streak in Florida Panthers history ended with a power-play goal and a few postgame punches.

Daniel Sedin scored his second of the night with a shot off the crossbar and in past Roberto Luongo at 2:21 of overtime, and the Vancouver Canucks beat Florida 3-2 on Monday to stop the Panthers' 12-game run.

With the Canucks celebrating on the ice and the Panthers heading to their dressing room, the teams came together near the benches with a lot of pushing and shoving. Vancouver forward Derek Dorsett engaged backup goalie Al Montoya before players from both sides began throwing punches as officials tried to break up the scrum.

"One of their guys came over to our bench and tried to punch one of our guys," Luongo said. "You have 60 minutes to fight anybody on our team that's willing and able, but he wants to do it after the game."

Dorsett said one of the Panthers yelled something that Henrik Sedin deemed "unacceptable."

"(The Sedins) don't get mad too often and they were pretty mad," Dorsett said. "I saw Montoya and (Florida defenseman Alex) Petrovic jawing with them and trying to squirt them with water so I skated over to intervene and Montoya took a cut at me so I took a cut at him."
