The Florida Panthers currently hold a 1-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, with Game 2 happening tonight. After being shutout in Game 1 the Rangers got off to an early start opening the scoring less than 5 minutes into the game. After Vincent Trocheck scored on Sergei Bobrovsky tempers boiled.
In typical Florida Panthers fashion the Panthers tried to impose their will physically. The Rangers were game opponents and didn't back down. On the play, the referees punished the Panthers for their physical play with minor penalties to both Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe. Alexis Lafreniere for the Rangers also received a roughing minor sending New York to the power play.
