A five-goal flurry in the third period swayed the game to the Panthers, who need one more win to return to the Stanley Cup Finals.

SUNRISE, Fla. -- The Florida Panthers scored five goals in the first 10:37 of the third period, pulling away to defeat the Carolina Hurricanes 6-2 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final at Amerant Bank Arena on Saturday.

Thanks to their 6-2 win on Saturday night, the Florida Panthers are just one win away from their third consecutive Stanley Cup Final appearance.

It looks like the Florida Panthers will appear in the Stanley Cup Final for the third straight season. Paul Maurice's squad has jumped out to a 2-0 lead over the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final.

Things have worked out very well for Jones, who singed some bridges on his way out of Chicago but now finds himself on the verge of the Cup Final mere months later.
