The Florida Panthers needed better efforts from their top players if they were going to get back into the Stanley Cup Final against the Vegas Golden Knights.
They got it as Carter Verhaeghe scored at 4:27 of overtime, Matthew Tkachuk had a goal and assist and goalie Sergei Bobrovsky rebounded from being pulled in Game 2 to beat the Golden Knights 3-2 on Thursday night and cut their series deficit to 2-1.
Jonathan Marchessault and Mark Stone each had a goal and an assist to give Vegas a 2-1 lead heading into the third period.
