From the opening faceoff at Wells Fargo Center, the Panthers demonstrated their intent with a goal in the first period. They maintained this momentum into the second period, adding another to their tally. By the third period, they had solidified their dominance with two additional goals. The Flyers managed to find the back of the net once but were unable to mount a significant challenge.


The Panthers' offense was clinical throughout, converting an impressive 27 percent of shots taken into goals. Their powerplay unit capitalized on one of two opportunities presented to them during the game. Even strength play saw three goals from thirteen shots for Florida, highlighting their effectiveness during regular play.

Defensively, Florida was just as formidable; they blocked a total of twenty-six shots and delivered thirty-nine hits over three periods. Their goaltender played an integral role in securing this victory by saving all but one of thirty-three shots faced – an almost perfect save percentage.


Special teams also contributed significantly to this win; while both teams had similar faceoff win percentages around fifty-two percent for Florida and forty-eight percent for Philadelphia – it was Florida's ability to convert on special teams that made a difference.
