Before the final minutes even ticked off the clock at Amerant Bank Arena on Monday night, Florida Panthers fans — clad in red jerseys and waving light-up rally towels in the air — were singing goodbye to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Tampa Bay's season ended there, in a 6-1 loss to Florida in the first round of the NHL playoffs. And the Panthers will march on after beating their in-state rivals in a playoff series for the first time in four tries.

Both players answered in the first round this year after being part of Panthers teams that lost 4-2 to Tampa Bay in 2021 and were swept in 2022. Barkov scored both of his opening-round goals in Game 5. Bobrovsky had a .896 save percentage. And“Every series is different and this group of guys is special and works so hard,” Bobrovsky said. “We have a great structure and everybody executed and worked hard for it. We're really close.

Florida was winless against the Bruins in the regular season, going 0-2-2 with three of those losses coming by one goal. Barkov and Sam Reinhard each had two goals and two assists in those games. Tkachuk had a goal and an assist.
