SUNRISE, Fla. – As the Florida Panthers continue their push for a second consecutive Stanley Cup, one of their players is also helping some lovable canines find their forever homes.

On Tuesday night, Florida defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 5-2 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

During the third period, Panthers center Sam Bennett scored a power play goal to give Florida a commanding 4-1 lead.

The goal was extra special not only because it further cemented Florida’s lead in a crucial victory, but it also came on National Rescue Dog Day.

While Bennett may not have known about the day, he knows a lot about the cause.

This season Bennett teamed up with the Humane Society of Broward County for “Benny’s Buddies” to help cover pets’ adoption fees every time he scores a goal.

So while Bennett’s goals are big for the Cats on the ice, they’re also big for loving pets who are looking for a permanent home.

For more information, follow Benny’s Buddies on social media and head to the Humane Society of Broward County website.
