In his second game with the Florida Panthers, Jonah Gadjovich made an impact by standing up to the 6-foot-7 Vincent Desharnais during a heated 5-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers. Despite the size difference, the 6-foot-2 Gadjovich held his own, energizing the Panthers and helping them secure their seventh win in eight games.
Jonah Gadjovich showed the Florida Panthers exactly why they took a chance on him in just his second game with the team.
Tempers flared in Monday’s 5-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers and the big, physical 6-foot-2 forward naturally got involved in the hullabaloo.
Only it was the 6-foot-7 Vincent Desharnais who happened to be in his way.
“It’s fine. You kind of don’t think about it at the time,” Gadjovich said. “I just tried to chip away and do what I can to help the team. That was my only goal.”
The undersized Gadjovich held his own in the fight, delivering a few big blows to the towering defenseman.
It was one of many turning points that energized the Panthers en route to their seventh win in eight games.
