The Panthers are up 2-0 and heading home but they may have lost Aleksander Barkov to an injury when Lightning forward Brandon Hagel nailed him in the third period.

A combination of stingy defense in front of him and a slew of missed chances by the Lightning offense proved pivotal to Bobrovsky’s clean sheet.

Nate Schmidt scored an early goal — his third in two games — which was enough for the Panthers to pull off a 1-0 win over the Lightning and head back to Sunrise with a 2-0 series lead.
