First Period

The opening period set the tone for what would be a strong performance by the Panthers. Carter Verhaeghe opened the scoring for Florida with a well-executed goal that showcased his finesse and precision. The Isles struggled to find their rhythm early on, as they were unable to capitalize on their opportunities.

Second Period

The Islanders managed to equalize with a goal from even strength play, but it was short-lived as Mackie Samoskevich assisted Jeff Petry in regaining the lead for Florida. This marked a pivotal moment and served as a turning point in maintaining momentum for the home team.

Third Period

In an impressive display of skill and teamwork during the third period, Uvis Balinskis extended Florida's lead further with another goal. As time wound down, Sam Reinhart sealed New York’s fate by scoring into an empty net after Daniil Tarasov made crucial saves throughout his time between posts.
