Florida victorious in Overtime
Florida 3 – New York 2 OT (Semifinals series tied 2-2) The Panthers’ power play continues to click as they scored two power plays last night improving to 5 out of 15 with the man advantage this series, including Mr. Reinhart scoring Florida’s playoff overtime power play goal at 1:12 becoming the quickest in their history.
After scoring on the power play and taking the 1-0 lead after the first period and outshooting the Panthers 13-11, the Rangers struggled to find the net managing a meager five SOG for the second and third periods with no shots in overtime.
No one doubts the outstanding goaltending abilities of New York netminder Mr. Shesterkin as he absolutely shines during these playoffs, but Rangers’ forwards Panarin, Kreider, Goodrow, Wheeler (back from injury), and Wennberg combined took all of 2 SOG last night which is not good enough to win the series.
