Despite getting outshot early in the game, the Tampa Bay Lightning took advantage of an opportunistic offense and a seemingly unstoppable power play to defeat the Florida Panthers 6-2 in Game Four of their series. The game descended into a penalty-filled (54 penalty minutes) dirty game once Florida realized they couldn’t come back.
Andrei Vasilevskiy made 39 saves to rebound from his disappointing effort while Sergei Bobrovsky lasted less than two periods as the Panthers starter. Alex Killorn scored twice and Nikita Kucherov recorded four points before leaving the game in the third period following a slash to the back of the knee.
