In Boston, the Bruins’ Charlie McAvoy scored a power play goal in the third period to tie their game with the Florida Panthers, 2-2.
“That’s not really how we script it [on the power play],” McAvoy said. “We get the puck, we’re trying to make plays, and that’s where the skill takes over. I don’t really know what I’m doing there, backdoor, but that’s where I ended up. … That’s where we just trust each other and let the skill take over. It was really nice to see that one go in.”
The goal ended up denying the Panthers another win on the season, as the Bruins took the 3-2, on skills.
“We lost, but we played a really good game,” Florida’s Aleksander Barkov said. “We battled hard, and we gave it our all. … We don’t think about any streaks or anything. The most important thing is the whole game, how we play it and to play the right way. [We’re going to] fix the little things and keep playing the right way.”
Linus Ullmark made 33 saves in the Boston win.
Anthony Duclair and Barkov were the Florida strikers in the loss.
Florida dropped to 8-0-1.
Charlie Coyle also scored for the Bruins in regulation.
Coyle also had the deciding skills goal.
Florida’s Spencer Knight made 31 saves in the loss.
“I thought I could be better,” Knight said. “I felt a little off and felt like I could have been better. I’m just going to continue to work. … I honestly think I want to work on every area of my game, really. … I want to keep improving and evolving. I think I’m still very far away from where I want to be, and where I could be.”
