Can The Bruins Win This Game at Home

The Bruins are currently trailing the series 2-1 and in the last game against Florida they looked awful. The Bruins scored only two goals in the last game, while the defense gave up six goals. At the end of the second period, they were down 3-0, and they couldn't bounce back. The Bruins were led by Jake DeBrusk who finished with one goal and one assist. Jeremy Swayman saved 27 of the 32 shots that he faced. In the first game of this series, the Bruins were able to secure the 5-1 victory, and they are going to need to get the offense back out to a fast start. If the Bruins fall behind here, their confidence is going to be crushed. Brad Marchand has been the top player for the Bruins so far during the postseason, scoring three goals and adding seven assists so far this season.

Panthers Have Looked Good Last Couple Of Games

The Panthers didn’t look good in the first game of this series, but they have really dominated the last two games. Two games ago the Panthers were able to secure the 6-1 victory and in the last game they were able to secure a 6-2 victory. Matthew Tkachuk didn’t score a goal in the last game, but he did have three assists. Evan Rodrigues did impress also putting up two goals. Sergei Borbovsky did start in goal, and although he didn’t face a ton of shots, he saved 15 of the 17 shots that he faced. During the postseason, Tkachuk has scored four goals and added nine assists so far during the postseason.

Florida Panthers vs Boston Bruins Prediction

After what happened in the first game at home in this series, I am not sure how the Bruins can have any sort of confidence heading into this game. The Panthers' offense is going to get the offense out to a fast start and that is going to be the difference here. The Bruins aren’t going to score more than a goal, and it’s going to be another comfortable victory by the visitors here. Back the Panthers on the money line to cash here.
