Sunrise, Fla. (AP) -Aaron Ekblad and Seth Jones scored goals of the third period at a distance of 11 seconds, and the Florida Panthers stormed the 4-2 goal of Tampa Bay on Monday evening to take over a 3-1 lead in the NHL playoff series of the first round.

Anton Lundell also achieved. Carter Veraeghe added an empty nice and Brad Marchand had two templates. Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 18 shots.

The Panthers had only made three shots on goal in the third before Ekblad had 3:47 and sent the crowd in the Amerant Bank Arena into a roar. Shortly afterwards, Jones found the back of the network to continue.

Florida now has the chance to win the best-of-Seven series on Wednesday evening in Tampa.

Brandon Hagel from Tampa Bay left the game in the second period after winning a high goal from Ekblad, contacting the wing player of the wing player and sent him on his back. Hail went directly into the changing room. No punishment was called.

Lundell brought the Panthers to the board at 9:06 a.m. after Florida sent the goalkeeper Andrei Vasilevskiy, who had made 19 parades, many good looks. Mitchell Chaffee and Erik Cernak reacted to the flash with another goal of 11 seconds to bring 2-1 to third place.

In the third, after a successful challenge of the Lightning for offside, Ekblad had lifted a commitment goal that held the score 2-1 before the defender collected his second game back from a 20-game suspension-a rebound and passed it past Vasilevskiy.

Hail did not return after Ekblad's goal, which happened in front of both goals Tampa Bay. Hail was back from a one-game suspension after his late goal was equipped with Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov from game 2.

The piece on Monday reflected the Chippy Nature of the series, which had a somewhat controversial hit in three games. After Hagel's hit in game 2, Floridas Matthew Tkachuk landed a late goal on Jake Guentzel in game 3 and was rated with a major of five minutes, although he was not suspended.

Niko Mikkola in Florida was hit with a five -minute major and a deformation behavior on Monday at the beginning of third place to get into Zemgus Girgenson while he was on his knees.

The Panthers were able to kill this penalty and give Florida the swing that it took to achieve a comeback.
