After falling behind 2-1 to start this series, the Panthers have won two games in a row to take a commanding 3-2 series lead. Florida won both of those games 3-2 and had to win one of them in overtime.

Notably, the last four games in this series have been decided by one goal. So, this has been the most competitive series in the NHL playoffs this year. Fans can expect this trend to continue, as the Rangers are fighting to keep their season alive during game 6 tonight at Florida.

In Thursday’s loss, the Rangers had goals from two of their top goal scorers this postseason, Chris Kreider and Alexis Lafrenière. Their successful offensive night put each of them at eight postseason goals this year, making them major threats during tonight’s elimination game. However, New York needs Vincent Trocheck to step up, as he did not have a goal or assist during the team’s most recent game. Trocheck is New York’s offensive leader with eight goals and 11 assists this postseason, so he will be vital to the team’s success tonight.

Unlike the Rangers, Florida has 11 different players with multiple goals in the NHL playoffs this year. This incredible roster depth makes it difficult to defend them for all three periods. The Panthers utilized their depth in Thursday’s victory, as they won the game without any goals from their top four postseason scorers.

Since Florida is carrying a lot of momentum from the past two games, they will do their best to close out this series at home tonight.
