COMMENTARY
The Boston Bruins faced their third straight undefeated team Wednesday night against the Florida Panthers. This time, the results flipped.
Coming off victories against the previously unbeaten Sabres and Sharks, the Bruins started off hot in South Florida. A Charlie Coyle shot from behind the net deflected off Sergei Bobrovsky’s skates to give them a 1-0 lead (10:37). The Bruins outshot the Panthers 15-5 in the opening 20 only to enter the locker room tied at 1-1 after a bad line change led to Mason Marchment’s first of the season after Sam Reinhart won a puck battle along the boards with two Bruins in the vicinity.
