The incident happened early in the third period of last night's contest and Lomberg was not penalized. The Panthers skated away with the 3-2 victory in overtime as Anton Lundell scored the game-winner.
Lomberg, 29, has four goals and two assists in 56 games this season, his fourth with Florida. He is in the second season of a two-year, $1.6 million contract.
With the win on Tuesday, the Panthers moved into first place in the Eastern Conference.
