The Florida Panthers stunned the Boston Bruins with a 4-3 overtime win in Wednesday's Game 5, defiantly avoiding what could have been the first elimination of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Matthew Tkachuk's goal at 6:05 of overtime gave new life to the Panthers, who had dropped consecutive games at home -- games in which Boston was without its top two centers -- to fall behind 1-3 in the best-of-seven series.
"We were supposed to get swept this series, right? Everyone was saying," said Tkachuk, who had two points in the win.
