Carter Verhaeghe had his fourth career hat trick, Sam Reinhart scored his 31st goal and the Florida Panthers beat New York 6-3 on Sunday night to end the Islanders' winning streak at seven games. Verhaeghe added an assist on Matthew Tkachuk's empty-netter for a four-point night.

Verhaeghe recorded his fourth career hat trick to lead the Florida Panthers to a 6-3 win over the New York Islanders at Amerant Bank Arena. It was Verhaeghe’s fourth career hat trick and first since April 1, 2023, when he scored four goals against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

SUNRISE, Fla. — The news was not that the Islanders — with three defensemen and a top forward hurt and a goalie making his NHL debut — had their season-high seven-game winning streak snapped. Rather, it was that they were tenacious enough to have hopes of extending it.
