The Florida Panthers secured a decisive 3-0 victory over the New York Rangers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final at Madison Square Garden. Sergei Bobrovsky was instrumental in the win, recording 23 saves for his second career playoff shutout, with the first being exactly one year ago against Carolina. This marks the first time since 2016 that the Rangers have been shut out at home in the postseason. The Panthers, who have now improved to 5-1 on the road in the playoffs, took a 1-0 lead in the series. Florida scored two goals in the third period to seal the win. The Rangers, facing their first series deficit of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs, struggled to generate offensive opportunities and must now make adjustments for Game 2.
