Florida Panthers (50-23-9) vs. Boston Bruins (49-27-6)
Florida Panthers vs. Boston Bruins Game 4 5/12/24 – The Eastern Conference’s second round of the NHL playoffs comes with a noteworthy encounter between the Florida Panthers and Boston Bruins scheduled for May 12, 2024.

The offensive firepower of the Florida Panthers in this season has been nothing short of amazing, featuring Sam Reinhart in the center, with a noteworthy 57 goals and 37 assists to his name. With his 26 goals and a phenomenal 62 assists, the playmaking Matthew Tkachuk (the left wing) from the team became famous. This offensive firepower will put the Bruins’ defensive strategies to the test, most importantly their ability to contain the fast-paced games where they have to defend the misfit players who score a lot.
On the contrary, the impressive Boston Bruins’ offense, driven by right winger David Pastrnak, has been similarly devastating. Pastrnak registered 47 goals and 63 assists and thus was and still is a big problem for any opponent defense. On the same line as him, Brad Marchand and Charlie Coyle have also been doing significant work in keeping the Bruins’ offensive attack on the opposition. The Panthers’ defense should plan the tactics well to contain Boston’s agile game by limiting their high shooting quality.
