The five-goal margin matched Florida’s biggest in a playoff game, tying the mark set against Tampa Bay in another 6-1 victory April 29. Game 3 will be Friday night.
Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky defends against Boston Bruins center Charlie Coyle during the first period of Game 2 of a second-round series of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup playoffs Wednesday, May 8, 2024, in Sunrise, Fla.
Sergei Bobrovsky finished with 15 saves for the Panthers. The five-goal margin matched Florida’s biggest in a playoff game, tying the mark set against Tampa Bay in another 6-1 victory April 29. After the first 20 minutes, Florida was simply dominant. They didn’t even allow Boston a single shot on goal for a stretch of more than 16 minutes of game time, 53 minutes of actual time. Parker Wotherspoon sent the puck the full length of the ice with 5:08 left in the second, credited as a shot since it was right at Bobrovsky. The Bruins didn’t get another shot until Wotherspoon had one with 8:57 left in the third.
Boston had not allowed more than one goal in any period so far in these playoffs and hadn’t given up three in a period in nearly two months — not since the New York Rangers struck for three in the third of a game on March 21, two of those being empty-netters. The Bruins hadn’t had a three-goals-allowed period with an actual goalie in net since March 16 against Philadelphia.
