The Eastern Conference finals has been largely dominated by the Florida Panthers, who have jumped out to a 3–0 series lead over the Carolina Hurricanes with the chance to complete the sweep and book a third straight trip to the Stanley Cup Final awaiting on Monday.
The games haven't even been close, as Florida has won each game by no fewer than three goals. In fact, it's been a historic first three games of the series. The Panthers have outscored Carolina 16–4 and their +12 goal differential is the largest through the first three games of a conference final series in NHL history, according to Sportsnet.
