The Boston Bruins and goalie Linus Ullmark started to hear whispers following a 6-3 loss in game two to the Panthers. Ullmark, who had earned his first NHL playoff win in game one, let in a few soft goals in game two and suddenly his and the Bruins' dominant season was being put into question. In game three, Ullmark and the Bruins answered back with a 4-2 win to take back the home-ice advantage in the first-round Best of Seven series. Taylor Hall had a goal and an assist and Ullmark stopped 29 shots as Boston built a 4-0 lead before the Panthers added two goals late in the third with the game out of reach.
“It's all about us … but it doesn't end with this one,” Ullmark said.

The Bruins welcomed the real return of Taylor Hall on Friday night as the forward had a goal and an assist. Hall returned to the team from injury in the final week of the season but has looked rusty for much of that time. His re-emergence couldn't have come at a better time with Bruins' captain Patrice Bergeron still sidelined with what is now being described as an upper body injury. Boston had 35 shots on net in game three and once again kept the Panthers off the board on the power play.
