Florida Panthers game preview
Despite winning the season opener at home, the Panthers have struggled with their form since. The defending champions have struggled to put points on board as they have faced consecutive defeats against the Ottawa Senators and Buffalo Sabres.
Florida Panthers injuries
Matthew Tkachuk, Aleksander Barkov, Tomas Nosek and Justin Sourdif are all sidelined for the Panthers due to their ongoing injuries. With Tkachuk reported to be the first to return, the Panthers will be hopeful of the timely recovery of their star player.
Boston Bruins game preview
The Bruins have bounced back well from their disappointing start to the season as they have gone on to defeat the Montreal Canadiens and Los Angeles Kings in games two and three. While they have scored eight goals in the process, the Bruins will want to get their defense back in shape heading into game four of their 2024-25 season.
Boston Bruins injuries
Alec Regula is currently sidelined for the Bruins due to his injury, with the return date yet to be decided. The defenseman is currently placed on the injured reserve.
Panthers and Bruins key players
Center Sam Bennett has been the star player for Florida so far, with the forward scoring three goals and providing one assist in the first three games of the season. With Tkachuk being sidelined, Bennett will want to keep the numbers up for the Panthers.
Newcomer Elias Lindholm and veteran David Pastrnak are settling together quite well, as the pair have already contributed nine points in Boston's first three games of the season. It looks like this pairing can bring exciting things to this roster for this season.
