Panthers vs Bruins preview – Game 2

As obvious favorites to win the Stanley Cup this year the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers will hit the ice for game 2 at TD Garden tonight. With Boston cruising through the regular season, their playoff run shows no signs of slowing down. A 3-1 win Monday night puts them up 1-0 in the best-of-seven series.

It will be a tough battle for the Panthers throughout the series, but they are coming off a hot end-of-season run that they hope to keep going for the series with Boston. Offensively strong, they were the only team this season to twice score at least four goals against Boston.

Boston of course won’t go down without a fight (if at all). With a record-setting regular season in the books, they certainly have the motivation to cap it with an historic playoff run as well. They’ll need to stay healthy throughout this opening series (and beyond) if they want to put all the pieces in the right places. 

Perhaps the biggest news is whether or not Boston captain Patrice Bergeron will be healthy when the puck drops. Bergeron missed game 1 due to illness that has apparently swept through the Bruins’ locker room. 

As much as Boston has the momentum, it’s still very much anyone’s series at this point. Florida can easily snag a win before they head back home, which could put the Bruins on their heels for the rest of the series. 

The puck drops for game 2 tonight at 7p ET. Here's how to watch a Panthers vs Bruins live stream no matter where you are in the world. Pro tip: you might want to try a VPN if you're looking to tune into NHL while abroad.
