2024 NHL Playoffs bracket: Stanley Cup Playoffs schedule, Rangers beat Panthers in OT for second straight game

The New York Rangers hold a 2-1 lead over the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference final after their second straight overtime win.

Alex Wennberg, acquired from the Seattle Kraken before the trade deadline, deflected home a Ryan Lindgren shot to win Game 3. That goal was Wennberg’s first of the playoffs and just his second point of the entire postseason.

Following his Game 2 heroics at Madison Square Garden, Barclay Goodrow scored two more goals on Sunday, bringing his playoff total to six. Alexis Lafreniere also scored two goals, one of which was a beautiful tally that saw him drag Florida defender Dmitry Kulikov and finish with a silky backhand shot.

The Panthers made things interesting, rallying from down 4-2 to start the third period. Aleksander Barkov and Gustav Forsling scored less than two minutes apart to tie the game, and Igor Shesterkin stepped up to keep the Rangers in contention and send the game into overtime. Shesterkin ended up stopping 34 of 38 shots at him.

The Panthers must recover in time for Game 4 or they will return to New York on the brink of elimination.
