Panthers Tie Series After Bobrovsky’s Shutout

The Florida Panthers have tied their second-round NHL playoff series against the Toronto Maple Leafs at 2-2 after a 2-0 shutout victory in Game 4, with Sergei Bobrovsky stopping all 21 shots for his fifth career playoff shutout. Carter Verhaeghe scored on the power play in the first period, and Sam Bennett added a late insurance goal. Bobrovsky’s performance marked a significant turnaround after earlier struggles, including allowing nine goals in the first two games, both losses for Florida. Despite missing forward Evan Rodrigues due to injury in the third period, the Panthers controlled play in Game 4. Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Reinhart, who underperformed in Games 1 and 2, were part of a team-wide improvement. Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday night in Toronto with the series now even.
