Nate Schmidt scored his third goal in two games, Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 19 shots and the Florida Panthers beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-0 to take a 2-0 lead in the first-round playoff series.

A combination of stingy defense in front of him and a slew of missed chances by the Lightning offense proved pivotal to Bobrovsky’s clean sheet.

The Panthers are up 2-0 and heading home but they may have lost Aleksander Barkov to an injury when Lightning forward Brandon Hagel nailed him in the third period.
