Last summer, Jim Montgomery became the new head coach of the team. He did not spend much time adapting to a new workplace but immediately began to show results. All this led to the fact that the Bruins had a phenomenal regular season, took first place in the NHL summary standings, and scored 135 points – a record in the league's history. As a rule, when teams play like this in the regular season, the consequence comes already in the playoff debut. 

Florida had a fantastic last regular season, winning the Presidential Trophy and breaking many team records. But the Panthers quickly finished the playoffs, so Paul Maurice became the new head. The mentor's debut season is going very hard since, in the regular season, his wards had every chance to skip the cup battles, but in the end, they still grabbed a ticket to the Stanley Cup. The Southerners looked active in the first game of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against Boston, but this was not enough to succeed in the games with such a powerful opponent. Therefore, a defeat followed – 1:3.

Boston and Florida are currently competitors at an entirely different level. For the Bruins, the current season is shaping up perfectly. They dominate almost all games, allowing mistakes exceptionally rarely. The Panthers were outside the playoff zone for a long time and spent all their strength and emotions solving this problem. However, there was not much energy left for the cup competitions. 

Boston has been playing offensively with changing success this season. Still, they do not always have to send tones of pucks into the opponents' goal since they play defensively. It is especially true for home games since, in the previous ten meetings at the TD Garden, they conceded only 14 goals (1.40 on average per game), which is an excellent result. At the same time, they have never missed more than twice per match.
