Florida has been in this position before in this postseason as the Panthers trailed Boston 3-1 in the first round and then their offense came to life, scoring 15 goals in Games 5-7 as they took down the Eastern Conference powerhouse. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 28 of 31 shots on Saturday and 25 of 27 in Game 3, so he has bounced back from some rough outings in the first two games of the series. Matthew Tkachuk is questionable with an apparent shoulder injury, but if he can't go the rest of the skaters on Florida will step it up as often happens the first game a star player is out. Florida is 12-3 in their past 15 road games and 53-24 after scoring two or fewer goals in its previous game. Also, the Panthers have won seven of nine playing with two days rest. Play the Panthers.
