Panthers Lose In OT Again After Third Period Comeback, Trail The Series 2-1

On today's edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is joined by Florida Panthers Historian Francisco Oporta(@fjojr and @FLACatsHistory) to recap the Panthers' 5-4 overtime loss against the New York Rangers from Amerant Bank Arena. It's now the second straight game in which the Panthers lose in the extra frame (won 11 games in a row in OT prior to the last two). The Panthers controlled play once again on the night, but New York once again picked their spots to create mistakes into goals on the night, with untimely pinches, tip-in's, and New York's counter attack. Florida had six power play opportunities on the afternoon, where Sam Reinhart scored his first goal on the man advantage since Game 4 of Round One, then added another later in the first period. There was a missed opportunity for Florida when the Rangers Defenseman Jacob Trouba went to the box for two separate penalties. Although Trouba was not called for a 5-minute major, the 4-minute PP only saw one shot on goal, with also allowing one short-handed to Rangers forward Barclay Goodrow, who now has three goals in the series. The cats got on the board first, but had to climb back twice (when it was 2-1 and 4-2) to force overtime. The Panthers poured a lot of shots on Igor Shesterkin, but failed to take the eyes away from the one-time Vezina Trophy winner. In the last 8:13 of regulation, the ice was tilted in the Panthers' favor where Sergei Bobrovsky did not see a shot and with Florida having a multitude of offensive zone draws due to New York icing the puck a good amount of times due to being pinned in their own end. Florida had multiple sparks after some line shakeups, which resulted in quick goals to give themselves a chance to win. The guys give their three stars of the game, when they thought the game was lost.
