The Bruins and Panthers are set for a postseason collision course once again.
After David Pastrnak and the Bruins emerged victorious against the Maple Leafs in Game 7 on Saturday, Boston will catch a flight down to South Florida Sunday afternoon and steel itself for a second-round bout against a familiar foe.
Game 1 between the Bruins and Panthers is set for 8 p.m. on Monday night at Amerant Bank Arena. Florida punched its ticket to the second round after extinguishing the Lightning in five games during their first-round matchup.
“I watched the first round, they absolutely dominated,” Brad Marchand said of Florida after Saturday’s Game 7 win.
