The Panthers are coming off a 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins in the second round. Florida won that best-of-7 series in 6.
On Wednesday, Matthew Tkachuk gave the Panthers a 1-0 lead in the first period off assists from Carter Verhaeghe and Gus Forsling.
That lead stood until the third when Carter Verhaeghe and Sam Bennett each scored.
Sergei Bobrovsky made 23 saves in his first shutout since Game 3 against the Carolina Hurricanes exactly one year ago.
Florida is 3-0 in Game 1 of the ECF dating to 1996; the Panthers have also won their past seven ECF games dating to Game 6 against the Penguins in 1996.

"Sit for awhile, make huge saves." Defense + Bob wins games.
Incredible coach and great goalie.
Is the guy on medication? He seems unique. Not trying to be mean, but he has this combo of intelligence and fake theatrical way of communicating. Creeps me out. Behaves like Robert California.
Пол Морис настоящий мужик и великолепный тренер + гениальный вратарь + отличные ребята -трудяги в команде!!! Флорида вы единственные в этом сезоне заслуживаете Кубок Стэнли!!! У хоккейного БОГА должок перед вами за прошлый сезон!!! БОГ вам в помощь!!!
I said it years ago when this guy was leading Winnipeg – he gives the best pre and post game interviews, hands down.
He was very right that the result depends on how very small things like passes cut, blocks etc. The marginals counts although numbers can be bigger.
He my teams coach so I can say it, I Love This Nutty Prefessor.
Im a die hard Rangers fan, but how can you not love this guy? What a game tonight. This series is going to be so tight one mistake is all its going to take. Tonight Florida capitalized on them, and NY did not. A post here or there was the difference.
