Bruins Take 1-0 Series Lead Over Panthers
Bruins Edge Panthers in Game 1
The Boston Bruins took a 1-0 lead in their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers with a 5-1 victory in Game 1 on Tuesday night at TD Garden. Jeremy Swayman made 38 saves for the Bruins, while David Pastrnak scored twice and Brad Marchand added a goal and an assist.
Panthers Look to Even Series in Game 2
The Panthers will look to even the series when they host the Bruins in Game 2 on Thursday night at FLA Live Arena. Sergei Bobrovsky is expected to start in goal for the Panthers, while Linus Ullmark is expected to get the start for the Bruins.
The Panthers finished the regular season with the best record in the NHL, but the Bruins have been a tough matchup for them in recent years. The Bruins have won six of the last eight meetings between the two teams, including a 4-0 sweep in the regular season this year.
Bruins Aim to Continue Hot Start
The Bruins are looking to continue their hot start to the playoffs after finishing the regular season with a 47-20-15 record. They have won their last four games, including a 5-2 victory over the Washington Capitals in the first round of the playoffs.
The Panthers will be looking to bounce back from their Game 1 loss and take home-ice advantage in the series. They have been one of the most consistent teams in the NHL all season, and they will be confident that they can turn the series around in Game 2.
