Panthers game 3 islanders

The way the Florida Panthers played on Wednesday in their season-saving victory over the Islanders in Game 3 will need to continue for this series to continue.

The Panthers made only a handful of mistakes in what, ultimately, was a clean 3-2 victory in which they played (successfully) with the lead for 19-plus minutes of the third period.

Although the Panthers short-circuited two power play chances as Brett Connolly and Sasha Barkov negated them with penalties of their own, Floridaโ€™s special team units were solid Wednesday and, like Tuesday going the other way, turned the tide.

The Islanders had three power play chances Wednesday, a sharp decline from the seven they enjoyed in Tuesdayโ€™s 4-2 Game 2 victory.

While with the man advantage, the Islanders did not send a single shot that got through to Sergei Bobrovsky.

Floridaโ€™s entire game could be capsulated in a couple of shifts taken by Erik Haula.
