THE RUB
In Game 3 of the Eastern Semis, the Boston Bruins host the Florida Panthers after splitting the first two games.
Florida responded well in Game 2, securing an impressive 6-1 win to level the series.
Aleksander Barkov led with two goals and two assists, while Brandon Montour added a goal and two assists. The Panthers controlled with a 33-15 shot advantage.
Boston, playing on short rest after a Game 7 victory, struggled against a well-rested Panthers team.
Despite Charlie Coyle’s early goal, Florida dominated, showcasing resilience with their eighth comeback win in the postseason. The physicality escalated, resulting in 148 combined penalty minutes.
Boston’s goaltending situation could be a concern after Jeremy Swayman was replaced by Linus Ullmark. However, Swayman remains confident, focusing on one game at a time as the Bruins aim to regain control.
PLAYER TRENDS
- Aleksander Barkov has 1+ assists in 7 of his last 8 games vs the Bruins.
- Pavel Zacha has 1+ assists in each of the Bruins’ last 4 playoff games vs the Panthers.
- Sam Reinhart has scored a goal in each of the Panthers’ last 3 road playoff games.
- Matthew Tkachuk has scored at least 1 goal in 3 of the Panthers’ last 4 road games.
- Brad Marchand has scored a goal in 3 of the Bruins’ last 4 home playoff games vs the Panthers.
- Charlie McAvoy has scored a goal in each of the Bruins’ last 2 home games vs the Panthers

THE RUB
In Game 2 of the Western Semis, the Edmonton Oilers face the Vancouver Canucks after a stunning 5-4 loss in the series opener.
The Oilers squandered a 4-1 lead in Game 1. Despite a strong start, they struggled to maintain momentum, managing only five shots on goal in the final 26:49.
Conversely, Vancouver capitalized on the comeback win, led by Nikita Zadorov and Conor Garland’s clutch goals.
Vancouver’s defensive prowess, limiting Edmonton’s chances and keeping Connor McDavid shot-less for the first time in his playoff career, offers optimism. Forward Dakota Joshua highlights the team’s depth as a key strength moving forward.
Star forward Leon Draisaitl’s status is uncertain due to injury, adding to Edmonton’s challenges.
PLAYER TRENDS
- Evan Bouchard has 1+ assists in 8 of his last 9 road playoff games.
- J.T. Miller has scored in each of his last 4 home games vs the Oilers.
- Leon Draisaitl has scored at least 1 goal in 6 of his last 7 road games vs the Canucks.
- Zach Hyman has scored at least 1 goal in 5 of his last 6 games.
- Nikita Zadorov has scored a goal in each of his last 3 home games.
