This was going to be one heck of a test for the Boston Bruins. No Bergeron until Game 5 at the least, and with David Krejci getting scratched right after warmups, the B’s depth, and lineup shuffle would be tested against a Florida team who flattened them in Game 2. Whatever magic Jim Montgomery wove, he got his club re-focused on the basics and the fine details as the Bruins found themselves more and more throughout the game. Despite some drama in the final five minutes, the black and gold would prevail in Game 3.
First Period
The Bruins would strike first!
