Matthew Tkachuk finished a feed from Sam Reinhart at the 1:51 mark of overtime to help the Florida Panthers beat the Carolina Hurricanes 2-1 on Saturday night for a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference final. Less than two days after scoring the winner in a four-overtime thriller, Tkachuk came through again, this time on the power play after a faceoff win by the Panthers. Sam Bennett found Reinhart on the left side, who zipped the puck across to Tkachuk for the easy finish against a sprawled-out Antti Raanta. Just like that, Florida won on the road for the eighth straight time in the playoffs and improved to 6-0 in overtime in the postseason. Each team also had a goal overturned on a video-review challenge for an unpenalized offside while entering the zone leading up to the scores.
