Florida Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Lightning erupted into a brutal preseason clash, totaling 312 penalty minutes, 10 fighting majors and 13 game misconducts in a 7-0 Panthers win. The chaos began with Scott Sabourin dropping Aaron Ekblad early, leaving Ekblad to be evaluated. A.J. Greer was fined for roughing and injuring Brandon Hagel, while Oliver Bjorkstrand’s third-period hit sparked more ejections. The teams meet again November 15 at Amerant Bank Arena, with safety scrutiny lingering over the rivalry.
