Frustration could've set in at that point for the Panthers, who won the Presidents' Trophy as the NHL team with the best regular-season record, but they maintained their composure.Goalie Sergei Bobrovsky kept it a one-goal game with a right pad save on Marcus Johansson's breakaway attempt with 3:24 remaining. Verhaeghe played in eight playoff games with the Tampa Bay Lightning when they won the Stanley Cup in 2020, and experience like that is invaluable for Florida, which is trying to win its first postseason series since 1996.Already confident after tying the game 1-1 on a 2-on-1 with Aaron Ekblad at 14:08 of the first period, Verhaeghe teamed with Ekblad again for the game-winner.
