Before Jones even stepped onto the ice Monday night, Panthers fans showed their excitement, greeting the five-time All-Star with loud applause and a warm ovation when he was introduced in the starting lineup at Florida’s Amerant Bank Arena.
Ryan McDonagh had intercepted a pass from Aleksander Barkov and was making his way uncontested toward the Florida Panthers’ net. His breakaway opportunity while the Panthers were on the power play gave the Tampa Bay Lightning a chance to tie the score late in the third period.
