ISLANDERS HOCKEY NATIONAL ANTHEM SERIES
Tkachuk, who was knocked out of the game earlier and had been pretty quiet, gets perhaps the biggest goal of his life to this point and what was a few minutes away from a 3-0 Vegas lead is one Florida goal away from this being a series again. The Panthers were pressing and Tkachuk found a loose puck on the doorstep and well, just like that, this place is alive and we could be looking at overtime. Well wouldn't you know it, Matthew Tkachuk scores with 2:13 left in regulation and we are tied 2-2.

There are plenty of employers in the Fort Lauderdale area who may have a lot of people call in "sick" tomorrow. If case you have forgotten, the Panthers and Hurricanes played a 4OT game in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final. Of course, who knows when the next goal could come. The next goal could determine if this series is a long one or a short one. The Golden Knights are outshooting the Panthers 25-22 and each goalie has been great. Vegas already has two power-play goals, and a third here would put the series practically out of reach.īut the Panthers will get the 15-minute break to regroup. But Vegas will be on the power play after Chandler Stephenson was tripped by Gustav Forsling with 12 seconds left in regulation. Video: Gm3: Verhaeghe sends in wrister in OTĪnd we are going to overtime. I'm sure there will be a lot to digest in the postgame comments. And just like that, we are heading to a crucial Game 4 on Saturday and back to Las Vegas for at least a Game 5 on Tuesday. They are now 7-0 in overtime in the playoffs. They get a goal with 2:13 left in regulation from Matthew Tkachuk and the winner in OT from Carter Verhaeghe. The Florida Panthers win 3-2 in overtime to cut Vegas' lead in the Stanley Cup Final to 2-1.
