Tomas Vokoun was looking for a pleasant homecoming when he returned to Florida to face his formal team. Instead, he was pulled in the second period and the Penguins were forced to play catchup. While they did even the score before the second intermission, a mistake by Kris Letang and a perfect shot from Tomas Fleischmann ended up making the difference as the Panthers defeated the Penguins 6-4.Tomas Kopecky got the Panthers on the board with a backhand shot.

The Pens didn't do him any favors, though. The Pens took a million penalties...
