Recap: Panthers nothing special in 4-1 loss to Lightning
The Florida Panthers surrendered three third period goals to drop Game 1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning by a 4-1 count at a rather tepid FLA Live Arena.
After the usual slow start we’ve grown accustomed to, the Cats woke up in the second half of the first period and took the lead when Jonathan Huberdeau pulled up on the right side and sent a lovely cross over to Anthony Duclair, who put the puck past Andrei Vasilevskiy for his first career postseason goal with 4:59 left in the frame. Brandon Montour drew the secondary assist on the play.
