The Stars and Jets will be back at it on Tuesday in Game 4 in Dallas. The Panthers defended home ice for the second game in a row. Florida received goals from Carter Verhaeghe and Sam Bennett as well as 22 saves from Sergei Bobrovsky to move level with the Maple Leafs.
Florida Panthers minority owner Doug Cifu has been suspended by the NHL after he got into a social media spat involving Israel and Canada.
Going back to the start of the 2023 playoffs, no goalie has more wins, saves or shutouts than Bobrovsky — who backstopped Florida to the Stanley Cup Final in 2023, then to the Cup title last year and now has the Panthers in essentially a best-of-three series for a spot in this season's Eastern Conference finals.
When the shot came, Sergei Bobrovsky was ready. It didn't matter what had happened in Game 1 or Game 2, didn't matter what had happened in the first period or last season's Stanley Cup Playoffs. This was the moment.
The NHL has suspended Florida Panthers vice chairman and alternate governor Doug Cifu from any involvement with the team or the league, doing so in response to inappropriate posts on Cifu's now-shuttered social media account.
There have been a few surprises in both the NBA and NHL playoffs, including the No. 1-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers trailing the Indiana Pacers 3-1 in their best-of-seven series. Indiana is now -325 to win the series at the BetMGM online sportsbook.
