Alexander Barkov’s Florida Panthers have been plunged into a predicament in the NHL hockey league. The New York Islanders defeated Florida 4-2 on Tuesday.

Florida led the fight 1-0 and 2-1. Barkov was responsible for the latter hit by the Panthers.

However, that was not enough. The Islanders scored the last three goals of the match, two of them with superiority. A total of seven two-minute sentences were whistled at Florida.

– We really can’t take as many coolers as we did today. It gives momentum to the opponent. They get to play with superiority and put their best players on the ice, Barkov manailed the Florida website.

– We need to use our rackets better. I think we’ve taken too many cools from the crutches and tall rackets, Barkov continued.

New York now leads the NHL playoff qualifying round match series 2-0. You can advance with three wins.

The Panthers play their backs against the wall right on Wednesday.

– We weren’t at our best today. Tomorrow is a new opportunity. We have to win that match. We have to play our best match in this series. We need to play smarter than in our previous three matches (the Panthers lost a practice match to Tampa Bay Lightning 0-5), Barkov insisted.
