Boston is rested not having played since Thursday as its heads to Florida. This team is deep and talented. They are tops in the NHL in penalty killing, seventh in goals allowed and 12th in goals scored. All of this for Coach Claude Julian, the champs two years ago. Boston won its second straight game and improved to 6-1-1 on the road with a 4-2 triumph over Tampa Bay. The Bruins are 13-3 in their last 16 road games and 9-4 in their last 13 vs. a team with a losing record. While the Bruins have excelled on the road, the Florida Panthers have come up flat at home at 2-3-3. They are flat in a lot of areas at 23rd in goals scored and 30th in goals allowed with one of the worst penalty killing units in the NHL. Boston's young goalie, Tuukka Rask, has won four of five career outings versus Florida while posting two shutouts and registering a 0.97 goals-against average. The Panthers are 0-4 in their last four home games and the Bruins are 5-1 in the last six meetings in Florida. Play Boston.
