Amazing Finish! Florida Panthers Win In OT
Game on. Series on.
Thanks to Sergei Bobrovsky and a late goal to send the game into overtime, host Florida defeated the Vegas Golden Knights, 3-2, Thursday night.
Vegas leads the Stanley Cup finals, 2-1, with Game 4 scheduled for Saturday night in Florida.
Bobrovsky, who played for the Flyers from 2010-12, was back to his brilliant self, displaying the superb goaltending that has the Panthers in the finals for the first time since 1996.
The National Hockey Network has coverage from Florida Hockey Now and Vegas Hockey Now.
