LOWLIGHTS:
Predators never led in this game.
COMMENTS: In the first period, Florida took a 1-0
lead. Only 2 minutes after the Predators tied the score 1-1 on Cliff
Ronning's 12th goal of the season, Florida's Radek Dvorak scored to
give the Panthers back their lead. In the 3rd period, Florida's Mark
Parrish gave the Panthers a 2-goal lead. The Predators tried to rally,
but the rally fell short, with Pavel Bure's empty-netter sealing the
win for Florida. Tomas Vokoun made only 17 saves out of Florida's 20
shots on goal; I wouldn't consider that a decent performance by Vokoun.
