Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk speaks after his team lost 4-3 in a shootout to the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, March 23, 2024.
The Panthers have dropped their past four — but are now 0-3-1 and three points back of the Bruins with two games in hand.
Florida had a 2-0 lead on goals from Matthew Tkachuk and Eetu Luostarinen; Carter Verhaeghe made it 3-2 late in the third before Artemi Panarin scored his second of the night to tie it.
Sergei Bobrovsky made 34 saves in a tough loss.
Florida was without captain Sasha Barkov as well as Gus Forsling, Aaron Ekblad and Dmitry Kulikov.
The Panthers are back on Bally Sports Sunday in Philadelphia at 6.

Rangers fan and props to the Panthers. Will see you all in the playoffs
No sweep in M.S.G. L.G.R.!!!!!
You're right, you played great right up to the third period and then you played lazy sloppy no heart hockey again just like you have for the last six or seven games.
Using injuries as an excuse is a classic move from frauds. “We were pretty depleted tonight”. Everyone is depleted bro. Do you want me to list the rangers injuries?
That mullet screams “I’m a douche”
All these crybaby Rangers fans in the comments 😂
LETS GO CATS
These are 2 great teams… playoffs will be off the hook.. LGR!!
Haha you lost, see you in the finals and may the best team win.
Respect this guy, but he’s very unlikable.
Rangers sent message in third last night. This will be a war!!
LGR!!!
