TNT will host Friday's matchup between the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers in the first round of the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The puck is set to drop at 7:30 p.m. ET at FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, Florida.
The Bruins (65-12-5) took the first game of the series 3-1 but fell in game two 6-3. The story of the game is that goalie Linus Ullmark is day-to-day and won't start in net on Friday. This will bump Jeremy Swayman into a start, and Ullmark is considered a game-time decision to even serve as the backup.
The Panthers (42-32-8) are tied 1-1 with the Bruins as they return to their home ice for two games. Despite Sergei Bobrovsky winning 24 games in net during the regular season, Alex Lyon will start his third straight game in the net. Florida will hope to continue their momentum after D Brandon Montour netted two goals, with C Sam Bennett adding a third in the decisive victory.
