TAMPA, Fla. — The Lightning expected to face a desperate Panthers team willing to do anything to extend its season in Monday night’s Game 4 of the Sunshine State Series.
On the brink of elimination, Florida certainly pushed the Lightning, but on the scoreboard had nothing to show for it going into the final period.
And for a resilient Lightning team that needed just one break to go their way to send the Presidents’ Trophy winners into the offseason, Pat Maroon’s third-period goal was all they needed to advance to their third straight final-four round.
