Raleigh, NC – The defending champion Florida Panthers rolls. The Carolina Hurricanes tumble.

Sam Bennett scored one of his two goals in Florida's first period in Florida, Sergei Bobrovsky scored 17 parades and the Panthers defeated the Hurricanes 5-0 on Thursday evening to take the lead in the Eastern Conference 2-0.

Gustav Forsling and Matthew Tkachuk also achieved a further tone festival of 20 minutes for the Panthers, while Carter Veraeghe had three templates.

“Of course, it could have been for us to get a little going this evening, and it was exactly the opposite,” said Tkachuk, whose Putawes from the Feed von Verheghe scored his first goal since game 3 of the first round against Tampa Bay.

“It was an unreal start from us. Apart from the gates, the way we played in the first period was as good as possible.

Florida had already demolished the lead of the Home Ice advantage with four one-goal victories with four one-goal victories on Tuesday evening. Florida only tightened the series with it and now back south to organize Game 3 on Saturday evening.

Bennett scored a second time when he tidy an attempt at the right post in the last minute of the second period, and ended a long layer in Carolina's end, which was extended by the hurricanes Brent Burns after broken his stick. Aleksander Barkov added a goal in the middle to third place as a punctuation.

Bobrovsky had his third shutout of the playoffs this year and the sixth of his career, with Florida's defense suffocating a Hurricanes team that normally papped the network with shots but found little daylight.

Florida has four Straight Road Games with a combined score of 22: 4, this time to flee Hurricanes fans to the outputs prematurely.

“It's fun when you are on the road and it will be quiet,” said Veraeghe. “It feels like we're doing our job.”

It wasn't all the best news for Florida. The experienced striker Sam Reinhart was knocked out of the game in the first period after he had thrown a goal from Aho in his left leg, causing Reinhart's knee to bow uncomfortably.

After the game, Panther's coach Paul Maurice said that Reinhart would be rated on Friday and that there would be no update via Reinhart's status by Saturday.
