Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round between the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning was a rollercoaster of emotion, showcasing a rapid-fire scoring spree that etched its name into NHL playoff history. After a slow start, Anton Lundell broke the ice for Florida, only for Tampa to respond swiftly with two goals, taking a 2-1 lead. However, the Panthers rallied late in the game, with Aaron Ekblad and Seth Jones scoring within 11 seconds to clinch a 4-2 victory, putting Florida on the brink of advancing to the next round. Brad Marchand emphasized the team's confidence, stating, 'Belief is a dangerous thing.' With the Lightning facing elimination in Game 5, tension builds as they look to recover from this setback.

Roope Hintz of the Dallas Stars is set to miss approximately one week due to a facial injury sustained during a recent game against the Edmonton Oilers. The injury, caused by a puck striking his face, did not result in a fracture but requires him to maintain a lower heart rate to mitigate swelling and pressure.

At 28, Hintz has been a key player for the Stars this season, ranking second on the team with 25 goals and fourth in points with 52 across 59 games. His career has seen him accumulate a total of 362 points (172 goals, 190 assists) in 451 games since being drafted by the Stars in 2015.
