Jacob Markstrom made 37 saves and Sam Bennett scored twice Tuesday in Columbus, where the Florida Panthers ended their road trip with a 4–1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Bennett opened the scoring on the power play in the second period, and Lars Eller put Florida up 2–0. Columbus narrowed the gap late in the period before Bennett added his second goal in the third. Sam Reinhart finished the scoring into an empty net.
Reinhart’s 199th goal as a Panther moved him past Jonathan Huberdeau into second place on Florida’s career list. The Panthers improved to 10–7–2 and return home to face Detroit on Thursday.
