This is the second meeting in the NHL playoffs schedule between these two NHL teams in as many years. Florida famously overcame a 3-1 deficit against the Bruins in the first round of last year’s playoffs on route to reaching the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Boston Bruins are hoping to be on the other end of that in the second round of this year’s playoffs.

Florida Panthers vs Boston Bruins Betting Preview
Panthers Hoping to Avoid a Similar Fate to Boston in 2023
As mentioned, Florida fought back from down 3-1 to beat the Bruins in last year’s playoffs. They’re hoping to avoid suffering a similar fate as the Bruins did last year as they held a 3-1 advantage before losing Game 5. They’re in a precarious position now in Boston, but had the second-best record on the road this season at 26-11-4. The Bruins are 3-1 in four road playoff games.
Bobrovsky has been great between the pipes for the Panthers and Aleksander Barkov, who finished third on the team in NHL player stats in the season, has a team-leading eight points (three goals, five assists) in the series. Florida doesn’t have any NHL injuries heading into Game 6 of the Panthers Bruins score prediction.
Bruins Have All the Momentum
Boston has nothing to lose after trailing 3-1 in the series and are playing with house money heading into Game 6 on home ice. They may have to play without Brad Marchand, who missed Game 5 due to an upper-body injury after taking a hit from Sam Bennett. Marchand is questionable for Game 5.
David Pastrnak, who had a team-leading 110 points (47 goals, 63 assists) in the season, has just one goal in the series and three in 12 playoff games. He has to step up in Game 6.
Florida Panthers vs Boston Bruins Pick and Prediction
This matchup promises to be a tight battle, with both teams desperate to avoid elimination. Our prediction leans towards a Bruins victory (4-2), fueled by their energized home crowd and stifling defense. However, the Panthers’ offensive firepower shouldn’t be discounted. Buckle up, hockey fans, because Game 6 promises to be a thrilling nail-biter, regardless of the outcome!
- Final Score Prediction: Bruins 4-2

May 17 2024 Panthers vs Bruins Match Recap
The Florida Panthers are moving on to the Eastern Conference Finals after a 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins on Friday night. With a goal in the final two minutes of the game, there were many bettors that were in the action until the end.
Puck Line: Taking the -1.5 goals on the puck line and backing the Florida Panthers came with odds at +175. Florida was never able to get things rolling in this game, but they did do just enough to win.
Money Line: With a late goal in the third period, the Florida Panthers bettors (-140) were able to celebrate with a big win. Bettors weren’t the only one celebrating as the Panthers spilled out onto the ice to celebrate their series win.
Total: This has been an extremely physical and tough series, and that is why the over/under line was set at just 5.5 total goals. Even though that number was lower than normal, betting on the under was clearly the smart way to go.
