The Panthers have a strong offensive which is led by center Sam Reinhart who has 52 goals, 35 assists and in total 87 points in 76 games. His playing along with Aleksander Barkov and Evan Rodrigues has bookmarked Florida’s success. Reinhart’s ability to score, especially 27 of them while on the power play, may become a problem for the Bruins when it comes to their defensive tactics. Barkov’s vision and playmaking ability, demonstrated by his 51 assists, additionally boosted Florida’s offensive power and made them a tough-to-beat competitor for the Bruins’ good defense.
On the other hand, the Bruins’ offense is led by right winger David Pastrnak, who has accumulated 104 points from 76 matches, including 46 goals. Additionally, Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle have been very influential on the goal scoring front for the Bruins. The balanced scoring and playmaking of Marchand, in combination with Coyle’s penchant for clutch goals, point to a multifaceted offense that will be a formidable task for the Panthers’ defense to contain. Such an offensive dynamism, including Pastrnak’s power play credit, enhances the Bruins ability to take advantage of any Panthers penalties.
