The Panthers won just two of 23 games they played when they trailed through two periods this regular season, tied with the Winnipeg Jets, Chicago Blackhawks and San Jose Sharks for the second-fewest comeback wins in the league. Only the New Jersey Devils, with one win in 27 tries when trailing after 40 minutes, had fewer such wins.

Following their five-minute kill in Game 4, the Panthers went on to score a pair of goals within a span of just 11 seconds late in regulation to go ahead 3-2 in an eventual 4-2 win. Fittingly, it was two of the team’s top killers – Ekblad and Jones – that scored the back-to-back goals.
