The Florida Panthers aim to secure a spot in their third consecutive Stanley Cup Final as they face the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final, following a 3-0 loss in Game 4. Despite this setback, Panthers Captain Sasha Barkov emphasized their strong position with a 3-1 series lead and acknowledged the need to improve after a sluggish performance. The potential return of injured players Sam Reinhart, A.J. Greer, and Niko Mikkola may bolster the team’s chances in Raleigh, as they look to regain momentum from their earlier victories in the series.
