2024 NHL Playoffs bracket: Stanley Cup Playoffs schedule, Rangers beat Panthers in OT for second straight game

The New York Rangers have a 2-1 series lead over the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Final after their second consecutive overtime win. 

Alex Wennberg, acquired from the Seattle Kraken ahead of the trade deadline, deflected home a Ryan Lindgren shot to win Game 3. That goal was Wennberg’s first of the playoffs and just his second point of the entire postseason.

Following his Game 2 heroics in Madison Square Garden, Barclay Goodrow added two more goals on Sunday to bring his playoff total to six. Alexis Lafreniere also added a pair of goals, one of which was a gorgeous tally that saw him toe drag around Florida defender Dmitry Kulikov and finish with a silky backhand shot.

The Panthers did make things interesting, coming back from down 4-2 to start the third period. Aleksander Barkov and Gustav Forsling scored less than two minutes apart to tie the game, and Igor Shesterkin stood on his head to keep the Rangers in it and get the game to overtime. Shesterkin wound up stopping 34 of the 38 shots against him.

The Panthers must bounce back in time for Game 4 or they’ll head back to New York on the brink of elimination.
