Panthers are down 1-2, so they need Game 4 not to be down 1-3, which is bad for obvious reasons,
however --- there is a positive swing if they win Game 4, because not only would it be 2-2, but they would
recapture home ice. So, it's basically a do-or-die game for them. Not quite as important for the Capitals.
They would give back the home ice they stole, but the series would still be 2-2.
Takeaways:
1) Florida has the better pressure offense and speed. They control the puck most often.
2) Washington has the edge on defensive physicality and goaltending.
3) Lots of fights today, energy is charged on both sides.
