Florida Panthers
Despite a disappointing loss against the Bruins on Game 1, they were able to bounce back and win Game 2 6-1. The challenge for the Panthers is to replicate this performance in the enemy’s rink. The Panthers won in game 2 without Matthew Tkachuk scoring. Tkachuk has 4 goals and 6 assists in the postseason so far, so we know that he can deliver. Carter Vergeghe is also struggling, not scoring so far this season, even with 5 goals and 4 assists in the postseason.
Aleksander Varkov, however, is performing well, with 4 goals and 6 assists. He has also won 67 draws, and losing only 47 faceoffs. The Panthers are likely to rely on him, along with Gustav Forsling. If both Tkachuk and Vergeghe can bounce back, then it will be an easier way for the cats to win. Especially if their defense can do what it did in game 2 and allow as few shots as possible and kill penalties.
Boston Bruins
The Bruins are capable of beating the Panthers- as we have seen in Game 1. However, Game 2 was an abysmal game where fell apart during the second period. They will need to work hard to deliver as much scoring opportunities as they can in their upcoming game. David Pastrnak has 3 goals and 3 assists so far. He cannot afford a repeat performance of Game two where he was scoreless. Luckily, the Bruins have Brad Marchand who is stepping up the plate. Scoring 3 goals and 7 assists so far in the postseason. Jake DeBrusk has 4 goals and two assists, and was scoreless in Game 2.
As you can see, many of them failed to score in Game 2, which would have to chance here. Even with an amazing defense, they will need to establish and early advantage over the Panthers. Marchand has 26 hits, while defenseman Charlie McAvoy has 37 hits and 23 blocked shots in 9 playoff games. Again, scoring will be the key to a Bruins home win on Friday’s game.
