The Florida Panthers came up short in their quest to take home ice advantage away from the Vegas Golden Knights in a 5-2 loss.
The Florida Panthers have been a physical team all season, and they showed it tonight. They also kept this one close until the third period, when they inevitably put themselves into a 4-2 hole and could not claw their way out of it.
While Florida struggled to get anything going in the third, the Vegas Golden Knights capitalized on these mistakes and took a one-game lead in the series.
