NEW YORK—The Florida Panthers are on the verge of going back to the Stanley Cup Final for a second straight year and the third time in franchise history because they are finding ways to win tight games.
Anton Lundell broke a tie with 9:38 left, and the Panthers beat the New York Rangers 3–2 on Thursday night in Game 5 of an NHL Eastern Conference final where the teams have been separated by one goal each of the past four games. Unlike the previous three, this one didn’t require overtime.
