The Florida Panthers survived a scare in Game Five and forced a Game Six on their home ice against the Boston Bruins. The Bruins had a chance to close out the series at home but fell in overtime.

Bruins rely on offense to finish the job The Bruins have been scoring at will in this series, netting 19 goals in five games, including 13 goals in the last three contests.

They have been led by their star forwards Taylor Hall, Brad Marchand, and Tyler Bertuzzi, who have combined for 11 goals and nine assists.

But they have also gotten contributions from their depth players, such as Jake DeBrusk, Pavel Zacha, and Marcus Foligno, who have chipped in four goals and eight assists.

Dmitry Orlov and Charlie McAvoy provided eight assists from the blue line. The offense has been carrying the load, but the defense has been shaky lately, giving up 15 goals in the series, including four goals in Game Five.

Orlov, McAvoy, and Hampus Lindholm have been solid on the top two pairings, but the rest of the defense has struggled to contain the Panthers’ speed and skill.

The only reason the Bruins are still ahead in the series is the stellar play of goalie Linus Ullmark, who has stopped 146 of 160 shots he has faced.

The Boston Bruins are 10-0 SU in their last 10 games on the road.
Boston is 15-2 SU in their last 17 games against an opponent in the Eastern Conference.

Boston Bruins vs Florida Panthers Predictions 4/28/2023

The Florida Panthers have their backs against the wall heading into Game 6 of their playoff series against the Boston Bruins.

However, there is hope for the Panthers as their offense has finally come to life, netting four goals in the previous game.

But it’s not just Tkachuk carrying the load, as Carter Verhaeghe and Sam Bennett have also contributed with four goals and five assists. Brandon Montour and Gustav Forsling combined for 3 goals and 3 assists.
