Alexander Wennberg has found the goal again, after a couple of games without points.
The 26-year-old had before that scored in three games in a row.
Carolina went hard and ended the first period with two goals in just over 20 seconds - but Florida's chain with Alexander Wennberg, Jonatahan Huberdeau and Patric Hörnqvist made sure that Carolina could not be on the lazy side.
- After the first period we went back out, without panicking, says Jonatahan Huberdeau after the match, according to nhl.com
The Panthers lead their division
The 27-year-old Canadian scored three points - two goals and one assist - for Florida.
First, Huberdeau reduced to 2-1 in powerplay halfway through the second period.
A few minutes into the third, the collaboration between Huberdeau, Hörnqvist and Wennberg led to the equalizer 2-2.
Hörnqvist fit up to a quick attack and the goal-scoring pass to Wennberg came through a pirouette display from Huberdeau.
- That pass was the highlight for me.
It's been a long time since I saw him play so well, says Florida coach Joel Quenneville about Huberdeau's game.
At full time it was 3-3 and the match went to extra time, where Huberdeau put the nail in the coffin and became a hero by fixing the winning goal 4-3 after a solo performance.
The Panthers lead their division in the NHL, with 22 points in 14 games played.
