Rangers get first 2-goal comeback of their season, rally to top Panthers 5-3
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Vincent Trocheck scored a short-handed goal early in the third period against his former team, and the New York Rangers beat the Florida Panthers 5-3 on Monday night.
Trocheck, playing in his 800th game, got the go-ahead goal during a Rangers comeback like none other this season. The Rangers were 0-30-1 in games where they trailed by two or more goals, the NHL's only winless team this season in such a scenario.
But they got goals from Juuso Parssinen and J.T. Miller 1:38 apart late in the second to tie the game, erasing a 3-1 deficit. Matt Rempe and Jonny Brodzinski also scored for the Rangers.
Sam Reinhart scored twice and Carter Verhaeghe also had a goal for Florida, which got two assists from Aleksander Barkov.
The loss means Florida is locked into third place in the Atlantic Division and will open the Stanley Cup playoffs on the road.
Takeaways
Rangers: Florida fans gave retiring Rangers broadcaster Sam Rosen a warm ovation during a first-period stoppage in play when he was shown on the video screens. Panthers coach Paul Maurice and general manager/hockey operations president Bill Zito also paid tribute to Rosen before his final road game.
Panthers: Florida needs a win at Tampa Bay on Tuesday to reach 100 points for the third time in the last four seasons. The Panthers got to the 100-point mark once in the franchise's first 27 seasons.
Key moment
Trocheck's blast from the left circle came in a stretch where Florida kept losing the puck with the man advantage, and the Rangers made them pay.
Key stat
For the second consecutive year, the Panthers have five 20-goal scorers. Verhaeghe got there Monday, joining Reinhart, Barkov, Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett — the same fivesome as last year.
Up next
Rangers end the season at home Thursday against Tampa Bay. Florida visits the Lightning on Tuesday to end its regular season.

Panthers' Jaycee Horn still bringing the noise, trash talk after signing $100M deal
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Jaycee Horn strongly hinted he treated himself to a new vehicle after signing his four-year, $100 million extension — a splurge purchase he said he would reveal at the start of training camp. Otherwise, Horn said life has remained the same since becoming the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history, a title he held for about a week until Houston Texans cornerback Derek Stingley received a three-year, $90 million deal. Advertisement 'Ain't nothing really changed, man,' Horn said. 'I'm still trying to get better every day. Trying to go get some more money. That's all I'm trying to do.' On Tuesday, that meant trying to rally the rest of the Carolina Panthers' defense while attempting to get under the skin of quarterback Bryce Young. Near the end of the team's first minicamp practice, Horn started yelling and pointing at Young and running back Chuba Hubbard. It was reminiscent of the training camp trash talking that would take place at Wofford among Cam Newton and defensive players Josh Norman and Thomas Davis, one of several former players who attended Tuesday's practice. The feistiness is nothing new for Horn, who from his earliest days with the Panthers — like during the joint practices with the Indianapolis Colts, for instance — made it clear he wouldn't back down from anybody. But it was a side of Young that outsiders haven't really seen, prompted in part by Horn challenging him. 'He just has a defiance to him and that's just his way of competing. He's not super animated with it, but he definitely thrives off that, feeds off that energy,' Panthers coach Dave Canales said of Young. 'He takes his chances when he can because Jaycee's trying to bait him into throwing the ball over there.' Horn said the trash talking makes practices more fun, while also raising the intensity level — something the fifth-year corner stressed when the team huddled after practice. 'Everybody's gotta bring that attitude. It shouldn't just me and Bryce, or me and Chuba going back and forth. We've gotta come out here every day and compete,' Horn said he told his teammates. 'Like coach Canales said, if you come out here and compete hard, the guy across from you ain't gonna have no choice but to step his level up.' No one has questioned Horn's competitiveness since the Panthers took him eighth overall from South Carolina. His issue was staying on the field. But after missing 29 of 51 games due to various injuries his first three seasons, Horn modified his offseason regimen last year, played all but two games and earned his first Pro Bowl invite. He also banked a huge raise. But Canales hasn't noticed anything different about Horn since he became a $100 million man. Jaycee Horn said he had 'nothing for PFF' after the site ranked him 25th among corners. Horn also said he dealt with similar disrespect at South Carolina. — Joe Person (@josephperson) June 10, 2025 'Same guy,' Canales said. 'The focus, just his intentionality with taking care of his body, competing every day. Especially in individual drills, he's such a technician. Nothing has changed. That's awesome. You love to see that when a guy gets rewarded for being a great player, but then he just continues his path of work. And the goal is to build a winning team and to play winning football.' Advertisement Despite the Pro Bowl nod and big contract, Horn isn't always mentioned among the best at his position. When Pro Football Focus recently ranked the top 32 corners in the league, Horn was 25th. The analytics site cited Horn's injury history, while pointing out that Horn ranks 23rd in PFF's advanced coverage grades over the past three seasons. 'I ain't got nothing for PFF. No comment,' Horn said Tuesday. 'Y'all don't wanna know what I'm really thinking.' Horn said he's been disrespected since his college days at Columbia, where he was a second-team All-SEC pick in 2020 after finishing with two interceptions and six pass breakups in his last season with the Gamecocks. 'Felt like I was putting out good tape and same thing. I remember when I got drafted, they had an analyst saying I wasn't even a first-round player. I wasn't that good,' he said. 'It is what it is. As long as the Panthers think I'm a good player and my teammates think I'm a good player, that's all that matters. I'm just trying to do my job.' It probably didn't help that the Gamecocks won a total of six games over Horn's final two years, including a 2-8 mark during the COVID-shortened 2020 season, or that he's yet to play in an NFL playoff game. 'I think the winning teams get a little more pub. That's just how it goes,' Horn said. 'We've gotta win football games and then maybe they'll start giving me a little bit of respect. Until then I'm just gonna keep doing what I'm doing.' That has included taking on more of a leadership role following an exodus of older players on defense the past two offseasons, a list that includes Brian Burns, Frankie Luvu, Donte Jackson, Shaq Thompson and Jadeveon Clowney. Offensive tackle Taylor Moton said in addition to playing at 'elite-level' corner status, Horn is growing as a leader. Advertisement 'He's going to be one of the cornerstones of the defense coming up, so I love it. I love the energy he brings,' Moton said. 'And that energy, as I'm sure you've seen, is contagious. Everybody else starts bringing the juice when he brings the juice. And it's important to have that at practice, even something like minicamp practice. That's how we start building standards. That's how you start building culture.' The energy might be contagious. But in terms of his jawing with Young, Horn might have gotten the last word. 'He's talking way more this year. He's talking trash every day. It's getting fun,' Horn said. 'He came up to me after practice today and told me he's gonna stop going back and forth with me, though. He said I just be talking to be talking. I don't think he can take the heat, so he's gonna stop talking to me.'
