Florida regained its advantage 8:36 into the third, but Carolina responded again, this time through Justin Robidas, whose spinning shot from the high slot found twine and forced overtime. Unfortunately, the Canes' comeback bid would end in the extra frame, as the Panthers converted on a power play in overtime to take the win.

The Carolina Hurricanes fanbase did not think twice when Givani Smith was signed to a professional tryout, but he's excelled in camp.

Hurricanes trimmed their preseason camp roster to 26 players and Smith, a physical forward in camp on a tryout, made the cut.
