This was almost a great 24 hours for the Florida Panthers.
The Panthers had two of the top three teams in the Eastern Conference standings land on their home schedule this weekend, and they beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 in overtime on Friday and led the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-1 on Saturday.
Unfortunately for the Panthers, the Lightning scored four straight goals and prevailed 5-4 in overtime.
Brayden Point scored on a power play with 1:48 left in the extra session for Tampa Bay, but only after an interference call on Frank Vatrano gave the Lightning the man advantage.
