If Florida is going to be successful, it has to execute in two facets of the game - keeping sight lines clear for Sergei Bobrovsky and staying out of the penalty box. Vegas has gone 4-for-11 with the man advantage in this series after struggling all season. Bobrovsky has to be better. There's no way to sugarcoat his sub-.830 save percentage through the first two games. Florida should benefit from having the last change, giving coach Paul Maurice an opportunity to match up against Vegas' most productive line. The Panthers found success this postseason by winning low-scoring, one-goal games. That's a form to which they need to return in Game 3.

The Panthers return home down 0-2, despite outshooting and outhitting Vegas in both meetings. Florida is 1-0 after losing two straight in the postseason, and should play much better after being idle for 10 days prior to Game 1. The home team is 9-1 in the past 10 meetings. Great spot for the Panthers to get back in the series!
