The Florida Panthers are still alive!
In Game 5 of the first round in the Eastern Conference, the “Cats” celebrate a 4-3 victory over time at the Boston Bruins and are in their view 2-3 in the “best-of-seven” series. Game 6 takes place in Florida on Saturday night.
With their backs to the wall, the guests got off to a good start and took the lead through Anthony Duclair (9th). After Brad Marchand equalized (23rd/PP), it is Sam Bennett (39th) who takes the lead once more. However, this does not last long – the recovered Patrice Bergeron (45./PP) makes it 2: 2.
Tkachuk punishes the Bruins
Just 41 seconds later, the Panthers lead once more, this time Sam Reinhart scores (46./PP). But the Bruins have the right answer ready for the third time: Taylor Hall (50th) provides the first overtime in the current series.
There Matthew Tkachuk (67th) punished a mistake by Boston keeper Linus Ullmark ice cold. The Swede tries to play the disc to a teammate from behind the goal, but the puck gets caught by Carter Verhaeghe. This changes quickly, finds the superstar in front of the goal and Tkachuk doesn’t let the chance pass him by – 4:3.
While Ullmark parried only 21 of 25 shots, Sergei Bobrovsky made 44 saves.
Octopuses grab the surprise
In Colorado, the Seattle Kraken took the series lead (3-2) with a 3-2 win over the reigning Stanley Cup winners and are on the verge of a sensation in their first playoff participation.
The spectators have to wait until the 27th minute for the first goal: Morgan Geekie (27th) makes it 1-0. Nathan MacKinnon (28′) equalized just 80 seconds later, but Tye Kartye (30′) made his NHL debut 2-1 for Seattle.
Yanni Gourde (42nd) brings regarding a small preliminary decision shortly following the beginning of the final section, the “Avs” in the form of Evan Rodrigues (57th) can only shorten the lead to 2:3. Colorado fails to score another goal, which threatens the premature end of the playoffs.
