Seven-year-old sings national anthem, kicks off second round of playoffs

To kick off the Eastern Conference Second Round, the Florida Panthers welcomed a little singer with a big voice.

Pranysqa Mishra sang the national anthem before the Panthers game against the Tampa Bay Lightning at FLA Live Arena on Tuesday.
Mishra is a second grade student with plenty of experience. The Valrico, Florida, resident performed the national anthem before Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Marlins games in the past.
"It was great. It got us going. It was a little different than something we've had before, so we were excited to hear that and it was really nice," Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov said.
She also sang before the Panthers game in

and her impressive vocals earned her an invitation back to kick off playoff hockey.
"I thought it was awesome and I'm glad people enjoyed it. It was fun to watch," Panthers coach Andrew Brunette said.
