In what can only be explained as a weird night in Atlanta, Maxim Afinogenov scores the game winning goal with six seconds left in the third period as Atlanta takes a 4-3 win over the Florida Panthers. This game started with a scary situation as Tomas Vokoun was taken off the ice on a stretcher after his own teammate Keith Ballard hit him in the head with his stick. Ballard was trying to hit the goal post in frustration and missed.
