Florida defeated Vegas in the third game of the Stanley Cup Finals and revived the intrigue in the series. Paul Maurice's wards were close to once again conceding and actually signing their sentence.
Sergei Bobrovsky's spectacular saves and Matthew Tkachuk's successful finishing helped the Panthers escape in regulation time, and then put the squeeze on the opponent in overtime, thanks to Carter Verage's wrist shot. By the way, the striker extended his scoring streak to eight meetings and a club record since the start of the playoff.
