Panthers forward Troy Brouwer was the first to the puck as it rolled into the Boston zone, with three Bruins chasing helplessly behind him.
He reared back for a slap shot, freezing Tuukka Rask as the goaltender ventured a bit too far out of the crease. Then Brouwer brought his stick back down to the ice and wristed the puck past Rask, high on the stick side, for a short-handed goal that restored Florida’s two-goal lead.
“They had just cut the deficit to one goal and they were on the power play,” Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo said after Saturday’s 4-1 victory over Boston.
