In a dynamic first period, the Boston Bruins took a 2-0 lead over the Florida Panthers. David Pastrnak opened the scoring with a power-play goal, marking his fourth of the postseason and ending a 0-for-11 power play drought for the Bruins. Brandon Carlo then doubled the lead with a goal from the point through traffic after a Panthers turnover. Despite several power play opportunities, the Panthers failed to score, hindered by the Bruins' effective penalty killing and key saves by goalie Swayman.
