The Florida Panthers take on the Boston Bruins in game four of round two of the playoffs. The Panthers came from trailing the series 1-0 and went on to lead the series 2-1 after three games, winning back-to-back games to get a firm grip on the series.
On the other hand, the Bruins would be wondering how they managed an impressive 5-1 victory in game one, only to concede 12 goals in the subsequent two games, a serious lapse in defensive concentration has got to be a contributing factor for the side.
