After scoring 3 unanswered goals and the Panthers outshooting Vancouver, the third period for the Panthers arrives once again(where their goal differential is now -19), as Florida allows a 15-5 SOG for Vancouver to get them back into the game. The Panther special teams continue to be a roller coaster of emotions as the Power Play continues to score, while a PP goal for Vancouver cuts Florida's deficit to one and untimely penalties continue to prevent the Cats. from winning games comfortably.
