2024 NHL Playoffs bracket: Stanley Cup Playoffs schedule, Panthers edge Rangers in Game 5 to gain upper hand

The Florida Panthers are 60 minutes from returning to their second straight Stanley Cup Final. Following their 3-2 win over the Rangers Thursday night in New York, the Panthers can close out the Eastern Conference Final on their home ice Saturday night.

In Game 5, Anton Lundell put the Panthers up 2-1 with 9:38 remaining in the third period, and then when Florida added an empty-netter it certainly felt like the 3-1 lead was going to be safe. Alexis Lafreniere’s tip-in made the last 50 seconds more interesting than they otherwise would’ve been, but the final tally, 3-2, was the fourth straight one-goal game in this series.
