The series shifts back to Florida and the Panthers got their job done.
After losing home ice, they bounced back and stole Game 4, putting themselves back in possession of the momentum.
New York Islanders
The Islanders had a chance to go up 3-1 on their home ice and take complete control of the series. Their inability to find the back of the net in the 3rd period, has put them in a position where they now need to steal a game on the road.

New York brings in a road record of 21-17-1-4. They have the experience, especially in the playoffs, to steal another game on the road.
Jonathan Tavares continued his point tear and will need his biggest performance here in Game 5. Tavares recorded the lone goal in the loss in Game 4. It was the 2nd time this series Tavares has recorded the only goal for the Isles in a game.
Thomas Greiss is also another big key here. He’s been unstable this series and has struggled on the road this season. The Islanders concede 2.70 goals per road game.
Florida Panthers
Florida may not have the experience on their side, but they have the grit and fight in them. With their backs against the wall, the Panthers got a 3rd period goal from Alex Petrovic and held strong down the stretch to secure an even series.
Florida now returns home to a place where they have played extremely well.
The Panthers have gone 26-12-4-1 inside the BB&T Center.
[dfads params=’groups=234&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
Florida’s key to victory has been Roberto Luongo. The Panthers G turned aside 26 shots, and had some big saves with the Islanders having the 6th attacker on. He’ll need another big performance, especially early with the Islanders likely to come out flying, trying to steal the momentum early.
