Florida had a 3-1 lead before New York scored in the game’s final minute, but Sergei Bobrovsky and the Panthers’ tough defense kept it at 3-2.
Anton Lundell and Sam Bennett played a huge role in Thursday’s win with goals and both spoke following the game.
Florida is a win away from going back to the Stanley Cup Final, but based on their comments, it is news to them.
Spoiler alert: It was not.
Paul Maurice also spoke as did Sasha Barkov and Bobrovsky (25 saves in the win).
