Charlie Coyle, who notched the game-opening goal, was the only player to score in the shootout to give the Boston Bruins a 3-2 shootout win over the Florida Panthers at TD Garden, bringing the Cats eight-game winning streak to an end.
The depleted Panthers, who beat Detroit the night before, did well to earn another point, especially given the circumstances surrounding the team. Florida was without Sam Bennett, Anton Lundell and Joe Thornton, and playing just its second game under interim head coach Andrew Brunette.
Goaltender Spencer Knight, who stopped 31 of 33 shots, suffered his first regular season defeat, as did Brunette, obviously.
