The Florida Panthers were in firm control of their Round 1 series against the Tampa Bay Lightning heading into Game 3 last night. The opening five minutes or so of yesterday's game belonged to the Panthers, but it didn't take long for the Lightning to grab some momentum, thanks to the Panthers parading to the sin bin. The Lightning had three power plays in the first period, a perfect opportunity to go up early and take advantage in a must-have game. Unfortunately for the Lightning, the Panthers were having none of it.
