The goal would eventually be confirmed and both teams would head to their respective locker rooms. After the game, both teams had their obligatory press conferences. During the Panthers' time to speak coaches and players alike conveyed their frustration with the outcome. First was Florida Panthers forward Sam Reinhart who admitted there is room for improvement.

«I think any time you lose a close one like that, it's obviously frustrating,» said Panthers forward Sam Reinhart, who scored both power-play goals. «You can say we dominated, but then you look at the mistakes that led to their goals. So, there's areas for improvement, for sure.»

Then head coach Paul Maurice spoke about the frustrations of the game. He suggested that while the loss stings his team needs to put it behind them and focus on the next opportunity.

«Sometimes you want to keep the growl,» Maurice said. «A lot of times in the playoffs it's about making sure that you keep that energy full and cut off your losses. That you let it go. Then there's times you want to keep it and eat and let it burn for a while and find a different kind of energy source.»

Even though they lost the positive thing for the Florida Panthers is that they did control the puck so much and created a lot of chances. If they continue to do this they are statistically more likely to score in the upcoming games.

Game 4 is set for Tuesday where the Florida Panthers will be able to get their revenge on the New York Rangers and tie the Eastern Conference Finals back up.
