Narrative

Later in the period, the Jets received a gift after a delay of game penalty issued to the Panthers was challenged by Florida, but was unsuccessful, and the failed challenge gave Florida another penalty and a two-minute two-man advantage for the Jets. It took them nearly the full two minutes to score, but Kyle Connor was able to make a nifty deke and beat Panthers goaltender Akira Schmid to cut the lead in half.
