The Florida Panthers delivered its most impressive result of the season thus far, posting a 5-2 win over the Boston Bruins, who came into FLA Live Arena riding a seven-game winning streak.
Florida toppled the NHL’s top squad thanks to a stellar 37-save effort from goaltender Spencer Knight and a scorching three for seven performance on the power play.
Gustav Forsling drew an early tripping call on Charlie Coyle and the Cats took advantage at 1:49 when Aleksander Barkov crossed to Sam Reinhart, who crossed back to Matthew Tkachuk down low. With Jeremy Swayman crouched down to cover for a shot, Tkachuk slipped the puck back over to Reinhart and he found the empty net.
