In the third, the Panthers moved from Bobrovsky to Danil Tarasov, and Lightning swapped Phoenix Copley and Vasirebsky, causing each team to switch to the net.
Through two frames, Bobrovsky stopped all 15 shots he faced.
With a third of more brawls and game cheating, both teams remained with short benches.
“Sergei was really good,” Maurice said after the match. “Roddy got a 3, that’s great. Ubis Balinskiss moved forward and defended.”
Amidst chaos, Rodriguez completed a hat-trick at 5:33, making it 7-0.
“I think we were trying to do the best, focus on the game, play quickly, and put everything on our side,” Luostarinen said. “We scored seven goals and we did the right thing.”
To close it, the Panthers end with a 7-0 victory and now shift their focus to the start of the regular season.
“We’re excited to play at the night, opening season, points,” Bobrovsky said.
