After making team history and striking fear in the hearts of fellow Eastern Conference teams vying for a playoff seed, the Florida Panthers are on cloud nine.

The Cats concluded a momentous five-game road trip Monday versus the Blues in dramatic fashion, as Vincent Trocheck sailed a slap shot past Jake Allen with just 4.6 seconds left in the final frame.

The seeing-eye shot sealed Florida's fifth win in a row - all on the road - marking the first time in club history the Panthers have managed such a feat. You could say they're happy with the results.

"It felt like we won the Stanley Cup for just a second," Trocheck said postgame, according to David Solomon of the Associated Press. "I think to do it with four seconds on the clock, we showed a lot of poise there in the third period, even when they tied it up."

The successful venture in five difficult venues could serve as a turning point in what's been an mostly arduous season. While they might not have clinched any trophies Monday in St. Louis, the Panthers, for now, have the chance to compete for one starting in April - the win pushed Florida to third place in the Atlantic.
