The team unexpectedly started the series with Florida at home with a 1:1 score. But the road trip to the Panthers made things clear - Boston won both games and can now eliminate the question of the winner in the upcoming game on home ice. Boston had little trouble playing away against Florida. First, the Bruins led 4:0 and conceded two goals only in the closing stages (4:2 win). Then they conceded six goals and won 6:2. Boston confirmed their status as clear favorites in the first-round series and one of the leading contenders to win the Eastern Conference.

Having beaten Boston in one and two away games in this series, the Panthers already seem to have accomplished the feat, given the form the Bruins are heading into the playoffs. So the two home defeats were not surprising. Far more surprising is the goaltending position in which Florida head coach Paul Maurice selected Alex Lyon instead of Sergei Bobrovsky. The Russian's experience might have allowed him to pick up not one but, for example, two games in the series leading up to Game 5. It will likely be Bobrovsky who will take over the gate in game five, although it appears that the Panthers coaching staff has delayed a lot with this move.

The third and fourth games in the series confirmed the class difference between Boston and Florida. The Bruins are likely to close this contest as early as game five. Moreover, given the large number of overtime games in this playoff series, the likelihood of them occurring in the next few days will become increasingly remote. In addition, we would bet on a low-scoring game - it is quite possible that Sergei Bobrovsky will take over the Panthers' goalkeeping role, and the Russian goalie will keep his team in the game for a while. As for Boston, Linus Ullmark has conceded more shots than usual so far in the playoffs, and he will surely catch up with his shooting.
