💨 Abstract

In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference final, the Florida Panthers dominated the Carolina Hurricanes with a 5-2 victory. Despite playing in Carolina just 48 hours after a Game 7 win, the Panthers quickly took control, with Carter Verhaeghe and Aaron Ekblad scoring early. Coach Paul Maurice acknowledged the team's need to adapt to different playing styles. The Panthers relied on their depth and identity, with five different players scoring and Bobrovsky making crucial saves.
