SUNRISE, Fla. — In a pitched playoff bout where both the Bruins and Panthers found twine 12 total times, the greatest momentum swing in a Game 6 shootout came in the form of a seemingly inconsequential brush of a finger.
The Bruins seized their first lead since Game 4 at 8:16 in the second period on Friday, with a shot from Brandon Carlo sailing through traffic and beating Sergei Bobrovsky to give Boston a 3-2 advantage.
But upon video review, Carlo’s tally — which would have been the first by a Bruins blueliner in this first-round series — was scrubbed off the scoreboard, due to an infraction from Jake DeBrusk just seconds earlier.
