Boston had an incredible regular season. It won the President's Cup early. They had no trouble becoming the best in the East and broke many records. Before the playoffs, the Bruins would have no problem making it through the early stages in that condition. Things started well, with three wins in four games against Florida and a 3-1 series lead. But then the Panthers improved suddenly and won twice in a row, making it to a seventh game. Boston has no margin for error and runs the risk of eventually falling out of the first stage of the playoffs with such a crazy regular season.

Florida had a failed regular season. While last year the Panthers were a joy to watch, this season, they were floundering on the edge of the playoff zone and only snatched the wild card. After going 1-3 in the series, many had already buried the gang of Alexander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk, but they showed some classy hockey, claiming two wins. First, in overtime with a score of 4-3, and then in regulation time, they netted seven pucks at Linus Ullmark (7-5). So rather unexpectedly, Florida, which has already been written off, is one step away from the next round of the playoffs.

• Florida has won the last two meetings.
• The past five H2H matches ended with a total over (5.5).

It seems that Boston will take the decisive game of the series. No matter how you look at it, they are much more balanced, stable, and strong. Of course, Florida should be credited for their two previous games - they demolished the favorite and presented some terrific hockey. Nevertheless, we believe that the same thing will not happen now. The Bruins know that it would be unacceptable to drop out in the first round after such a regular season. They play at home, with the fans' support, which will not accept defeat. The Bruins have to stick to the bar they set for themselves and play their style in this game.
