On the other hand, the Boston Bruins also proved their own offensive strength with David Pastrnak at the beginning, who scored an amazing 110 points this season. His sharpshooting will be the key to breaking the Panthers’ defenses. Brad Marchand’s power to act under playoff pressure together with his gift of the short hand goal-scoring, makes the Bruins’ attack more detailed. Charlie Coyle’s performance, although he has a negative plus/minus, still remains of importance. The goalie of the Panthers, Sergei Bobrovsky, with his long experience and top saving percentage of 0.915, has to be in the top form to stop the Bruins.
