Only one person in Florida Panthers history had scored 50 goals in a single season before Sunday night. Now, Pavel Bure has some company in Sam Reinhart.
Reinhart joined Bure in the Panthers’ 50 Goal Club in Philadelphia with a pair of goals in Florida’s win over the host Flyers.
No. 50 came into an empty net with 1:12 remaining and gave the Panthers a 4-1 lead.
Bure hit the 50-goal mark in both of his two full seasons with the Panthers.
He scored 58 goals during the 1999-2000 season, then got 59 in the next one.
Coming into this season, Reinhart’s career high was the 33 goals he scored during the 2021-22 offensive free-for-all.
Reinhart has scored his most goals in a single season in his three campaigns with the Panthers: He scored a then-high 33 goals in his first season with Florida, and had 31 last season.
His previous high during his time in Buffalo: 25, twice.
