At Newark, New Jersey:


The Florida Panthers, with three power-play goals, including the game winner from Brian Campbell at 6:34 of the second period, staged the biggest playoff comeback in their history as they came back from an early three-goal deficit to upend the New Jersey Devils 4-3 on the road and take a two-games-to-one lead in their opening-round series.
