Bruins 4, Panthers 1

 

The Curse is broken, the spell is off. The mighty Boston Bruins have beaten the Florida Panthers, their former kryptonite team who seemed to have some sort of hex over them. 

This afternoon, Elias Lindholm, Morgan Geekie, and Michael Eyssimont, just called up from Providence to replace an injured James Hagens, scored goals against the Panthers. All in the first period alone. JJ Peterka added a fourth goal in the third period. Jeremy Swayman made 40 saves for a .976 percentage. 

David Pastrnak had two assists today, his 15th and 16th of the season. Former BU Terrier Brady Tkachuk (Class of 2018) had his 10th assist of the season for the Panthers, while his brother Matthew had his 22nd.

The Bruins (13-4-1) continue to lead the Atlantic Division with 27 points. Montreal is in second place at 25 points, and come to Boston on Thursday night along with Lane Hutson (BU, 2023) who leads the Canadiens with 14 assists. 

Puck drops at 7:00.
