The Stars and Jets will be back at it on Tuesday in Game 4 in Dallas. The Panthers defended home ice for the second game in a row. Florida received goals from Carter Verhaeghe and Sam Bennett as well as 22 saves from Sergei Bobrovsky to move level with the Maple Leafs.
Sergei Bobrovsky gave up five goals in Game 1 against Toronto. Gave up four more in Game 2. Gave up four again in Game 3. Those numbers aren’t great.
Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers increased their series lead to 3-1 following a 3-0 win against the Golden Knights in their Game 4. Forward Adam Henrique logged a two-goal game, while goaltender Stuart Skinner stopped all 24 shots that he faced on the night.

During the Florida Panthers' Game 4 matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs, forward Evan Rodrigues exited in the third period with an undisclosed injury. This was after former teammate Oliver Ekman-Larsson hit Rodrigues when he did not have the puck.
Carter Verhaeghe, once a Toronto Maple Leafs draft pick, delivered a statement goal in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, helping the Florida Panthers secure a 2-0 victory over Toronto. The win evened the series at 2-2, and Verhaeghe's goal added a layer of sweet revenge against the team that originally drafted him back in 2013.
