SUNRISE, Fla. -- Aaron Ekblad and Seth Jones scored within a span of 11 seconds late in the third period, and the Florida Panthers defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round at Amerant Bank Arena on Monday.

The Tampa Bay Lightning looked much more like its championship-caliber form in a 5-1 win against the Florida Panthers in Game 3.

Panthers coach Paul Maurice and Lightning coach Jon Cooper have much in common besides having their names etched onto the Stanley Cup and residing in Florida. They're both savvy in how they deal with media. They're both masters of dry humor. And they don't mind being on the receiving end of a light-hearted jab.
