Florida flew into Edmonton and skated off with the series split. The Panthers returned home and protected home ice and were looking to put a stranglehold on the series, but Edmonton returned the favor and earned the split on Thursday to tie the series at 2-2.

It wasn’t easy, though, as Florida scored the first three goals without a response. Edmonton netted three unanswered in the second period to tie up the game, then went on top 13:36 into the final period. With 20 seconds left in the game, though, Florida tied it up, sending the game into overtime.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
