We’ll have to look at it and find ways to get better.” –Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery, on the Boston Bruins losing two games in a row for the first time all season. It was Barkov that buried the game-tying shot with two seconds remaining in the third period amid a flurry of activity around the Boston net, and it was Barkov again in overtime that fed Sam Reinhart the puck for the scorched one-timer from the face-off circle. It’s the first time all year that we haven’t prevailed two games in a row. The shift leading up to Pastrnak’s 38th goal of the season was Boston’s best hockey of the third period as they had the Panthers running around in their own end.

Smith, who’d been dropped to the fourth line, took a couple of strides to the middle and sizzled a wrister past Lyon’s blocker at 16:50.
