NEW YORK (AP) — After a tough overtime loss two nights earlier, the Florida Panthers were focused on picking up their defensive intensity in Game 4.
Alex Petrovic scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the third period and the Panthers beat the New York Islanders 2-1 on Wednesday night to even their first-round playoff series at two games apiece.
Teddy Purcell also scored for Florida and Jaromir Jagr had an assist for his 200th career playoff point. Roberto Luongo stopped 26 shots.
"What we talked about was making it real tough to score goals against us," Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said.
