2024 NHL Playoffs bracket: Stanley Cup Playoffs schedule, Panthers notch shutout vs. Rangers in Game 1

The Florida Panthers began the Eastern Conference Final in dominant fashion with a 3-0 win against the Rangers in New York Wednesday night. 

Sergei Bobrovsky turned aside all 23 shots that he faced, and it marked the first shutout for the Panthers netminder since Game 3 of the 2023 Eastern Conference Final against the Carolina Hurricanes. It also was the first time that the Rangers were shut out since Dec. 9 when they lost 4-0 to the Washington Capitals.

Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk opened the scoring late in the first period when he ripped a shot past the glove of Igor Shesterkin. Tkachuk’s career 16th postseason goal moved him into a tie for second-most in franchise history. Carter Verhaeghe was credited for Panthers’ second goal, which was actually poked past Shesterkin when it deflected off a Rangers’ stick. Sam Bennett added an empty-netter to seal the win for Florida.
