TAMPA, Fla. — Steven Stamkos scored his fourth and fifth goals of the series and the Tampa Bay Lightning avoided elimination with a 6-3 victory over the Florida Panthers in Game 4 of the first-round playoff matchup Saturday night.
Stamkos opened the scoring during the Lightning's three-goal first period and helped ease Florida's sustained pressure during the opening half of the third period with his goal at 9:34 that gave Tampa Bay a 5-3 lead. Nicholas Paul added a goal during a 5-on-3 power-play goal with 3:38 to go. “The normal introductions, all the players names there’s cheers,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. “It gets to Vasilevskiy, there’s a massive cheer. I could not hear the PA guy say Vasilevskiy's name. The roar just kept going on and so all the guys on the bench got up. It was a stirring moment and I thought we carry that right into the first period.”
Stamkos, Hagel and Point scored 6:13 apart in the first to make it 3-0. Stamkos scored on a power play, while Hagel had a short-handed goal.
