The Florida Panthers can head to the Stanley Cup Final with a win Saturday night when they host the New York Rangers in Game 6 of the East Finals. Anton Lundell broke a tie with 9:38 left of Game 5 to win 3-2 against the Rangers and bring the Panthers a game away from returning to the Stanley Cup Final. The Panthers could secure the win tonight at home but if the Rangers force a game 7 they would also get the chance to win the series at home. But the Panthers have won twice at MSG this series.
