Game 4 between the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning produced one of the wildest sequences of the Stanley Cup Playoffs through Monday and an all-time record. The game started slowly, with a scoreless first period and the Panthers' Anton Lundell opening the scoring nine minutes into the second period.

A Panthers win gives Florida a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-7 series, needing just one win over the final three games to advance to the second round. A Lightning win levels the series at two wins apiece before the series shifts back to Tampa.
