From the initial puck drop at Enterprise Center, home of the Blues, it was clear that the Panthers were on a mission. The first period saw both teams score once, but it was merely a prelude to what was about to unfold. As play progressed, Florida's offense took control of the game with an additional goal in the second period and an onslaught of three more in the third.

Their powerplay unit capitalized on one of their three opportunities thanks to precise puck movement and relentless pressure that resulted in nine shots during man advantages alone.


Florida’s defensive efforts were equally notable with ten blocked shots contributing significantly to stymieing any offensive surge from St. Louis. Moreover, they outperformed in takeaways with eleven instances where they regained possession – a testament to their alertness and quick reflexes throughout gameplay.


Goaltending for Florida proved impenetrable as well; saving all but one of 30 shots faced which translates into an impeccable save percentage rounded up to 100 percent for this encounter – a key factor in securing such a decisive win.


On special teams play, while shorthanded eight times due largely to four minor penalties amounting twelve penalty minutes overall for them - not once did they allow St. Louis any room or opportunity convert these situations into goals against them.
