Well, well, well. here we go again. Despite allowing Games 5 and 6 to the Auston Matthews-less Toronto Maple Leafs and forcing a Game 7, the Boston Bruins still got the job done and won 2-1 in overtime. It was all thanks to none other than the player. david pastrnakHe scored the winning goal just two minutes into overtime. Jeremy Swayman He performed well in six starts, allowing just 1.49 goals per game, but the Bruins' offensive struggles could see them move past the Florida Panthers in the second round or take the lead. may be hindered.
That being said, it's time to turn the page on the Panthers. The Panthers are a red-hot, strong team that came back from a 3-1 series loss against the Bruins last postseason. Boston nearly blew a 3-1 series lead against Toronto in the first round, but has revenge in mind against Florida and will look to build momentum with four regular season wins this season.

bruins draft kings Round 2 Fantasy Preview
- Entering the postseason, Florida won four of the final five games of the regular season, defeating an experienced and talented Tampa Bay Lightning team 4-1 in the first round. As a team, they rank third in both goals per game (4.00) and shots per game (32.0), with Boston trailing Toronto, who averaged just 1.71 goals per game. I'll have to adapt after the match. The Panthers also have him first in goal percentage (61.11%) and have scored two more goals than the Bruins despite playing two fewer games (20 to 18).
- Considering Florida lights the lamp on a regular basis, it's no surprise that they have such talented goal scorers on almost every line.from Carter Verhaig to Sam Reinhart to Vladimir Tarasenko, the offensive firepower is endless and this will be a huge opportunity for the Bruins to seize the pace. Verhage leads the team in points (9) with five goals in five games, but seven other Panthers players have at least three points.Boston's defense mainly Charlie McAvoythere is a high possibility that you will be assigned a hasty mission. Matthew Tkachuk And enough of a second line to keep scoring to a minimum.
- Boston has some pretty big decisions to make regarding goaltending. Swayman is doing well, but he started six of the seven games against Toronto and could be fatigued. Linus Ullmark He started Game 2 and stopped 31 of 34 shots. Boston stuck with Swayman because of his strong play and success against Toronto's offense, but Ullmark had a 12-3-1 record against Florida and won three regular season games. It would be questionable to move on from a player with a .950 save percentage this postseason, but Boston doesn't want a repeat of last year and will do whatever they can to get an edge, and I'm going to go with Ullmark here. It's leaning. At least in the series opener.
