Florida also succeeded on the ice of Tampa. The home environment didn’t help the Islanders either

Florida and Carolina are just one win away from advancing to the second round of the playoffs after tonight. The Panthers won 5-3 on the ice of Tampa, the Hurricanes are celebrating a 3-2 win in New York.

TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING – FLORIDA PANTHERS

3:5 (0:1, 2:2, 1:2)

SERIES STATE: 0-3

Tampa didn’t even succeed in the third game

Florida once again managed a relatively even game and cruised to its third win in the series. Although Tampa was able to turn the game around at the beginning of the second half, they did not keep the lead and then only caught up. Matthew Tkachuk, who is also the leader of his team this year, managed to score two goals. The Lightning stars, on the other hand, aren’t doing too well.

Third win for the Hurricanes
