The Panthers have not won a playoff series round since 1996.  That was when Florida reached the Stanley Cup Final before being swept by Colorado. Florida is making its first playoff appearance since 2016, when the Panthers were eliminated by the Islanders in six games. The Panthers had a 2-1 lead in the second period, but could not capitalize as Jordan Eberle scored twice, including the go-ahead goal. The New York Islanders rallied to a 4-2 win over the Florida Panthers and take a 2-0 lead in their best-of-five NHL preliminary round playoff series. The Islanders look to close out the series with a win today at 12pm EDT and you can catch all the action on FOX SPORTS 640
