The Boston Bruins chased the Florida Panthers’ lead to ultimately drop Game 5 in a 4-3 overtime loss at the TD Garden.
“We need to understand the desperation they are playing with,” Brad Marchand said of Florida’s game. “We saw that from the drop of the puck tonight.”
The Bruins spent a lot of energy trying to tie the game for nearly 60 minutes, Head Coach Jim Montgomery said postgame.
Despite outshooting the Panthers 47 to 25 overall, the Bruins got off to a slow start and were dominated in the defensive zone.
The Bruins played more of their game in the second and third period, but again, never had the lead.
