Sunrise, Florida - The Florida Panthers owned their crucial game against the Lightning and gained own home-ice advantage in the upcoming playoffs.

The Panthers took command of home-ice in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs by shutting out the Lightning with a big 4-0 win at home. Florida also finished their season, riding a six-game winning streak into the number two seed of the NHL's Central Division.

The game started with two evenly-matched squads not giving much away until MacKenzie Weegar (27) scored, with only minutes to go in the first period. Juho Lammikko then added to his first-period assist by scoring a short-handed goal midway through the second, while Florida was still struggled to get things going. That opened the floodgates and goals by Carter Verhaeghe and Alex Wennberg closed things out in the third period.

Five Panthers each had an assist credited for Florida's four total goals, while Chris Driedger stopped 30 shots for his third career shutout.
