Series: Bruins lead 3-2
The Bruins dropped Game 5 at home, 4-3 in overtime, in a game they never led. The teams traded goals until Panthers LW Matthew Tkachuk was able to deliver the game-winner on an open net after Bruins G Linus Ullmark sprawled to his right to make a save after committing a turnover behind his net.
The series shifts back to Florida where Boston dominated the Panthers in Games 3 and 4 with 6-2 and 4-2 victories. If Florida can survive, Game 7 will be back in Boston Sunday.
