It was nothing less than the Panthers deserved, as they were clinical in front of goal against the Hurricanes. Their goals in the success were netted by Matthew Tkachuk and Aleksander Barkov. Meanwhile, Sergei Bobrovsky ended the night with 37 saves from 28 shots to average .974.

Things started well for the Hurricanes in game two, as they opened the scoring in the first period. However, Jalen Chatfield’s effort would be as good as it got for the Hurricanes over the weekend. They will now be aware that this first game in Florida will be pivotal to their chances of reaching the Stanley Cup finals this season.


Picks

The Panthers have had the measure of the Hurricanes over the opening two games, and that could continue in game three, as they have home advantage for the first time in this series. We could see them securing a 3-0 series advantage.
