The New York Rangers will square off against the Florida Panthers in Game Four of the Eastern Conference Final in what has been a back-and-forth series.
The Rangers lost the first game, but after two OT wins in a succession, they now hold the series lead and are in charge. They gritted out another overtime win in their most recent game, with the final score being 5-4 in New York's favour.
Florida rallied from a 4-2 hole but couldn't complete the comeback. They will be looking to level the Eastern Conference Finals at 2-2. On paper, the Panthers have continued to dominate the proceedings and stat-sheet following a smashing 3-0 series-opening win.
But the NHL's best regular-season team has seized a pair of overtime wins to take the box seat in the best-of-seven affair.
