SUMMARY
In a tightly contested Eastern Conference Final, the Rangers and Panthers are now deadlocked at two wins apiece after Florida's overtime victory. The series is now down to a best-of-three, with both teams having won on their home ice. The Panthers secured the Game 4 win with Sam Reinhart's overtime goal, following a strong performance from the Rangers' Alexis Lafreniere, who forced overtime with a game-tying goal. Despite the Rangers' early lead, the Panthers dominated much of the game, outshooting and out-chancing their opponents. Igor Shesterkin's standout goaltending kept the Rangers competitive, but the Panthers' strong second period ultimately turned the tide in their favor.
