The Florida Panthers know exactly what is on the line Monday night when they play host to the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 5 of their opening-round playoff series.

Win and the Panthers season lives for at least a few more days.

Lose and that is that.

The season, one in which South Florida got excited about the Panthers again, will end in disappointing fashion.

โ€œWe just need a bounce-back. Itโ€™s do-or-die time,โ€ said center Noel Acciari, who was part of Bostonโ€™s run to the 2019 Stanley Cup Finals.

โ€œWeโ€™re going to leave it all on the ice and everyone here knows that. Weโ€™re not out of this. We have to come together, have a strong 60 minutes.โ€
