Bruins Finish Sweep of Sunshine State
LeCavalier finally got back on the scoresheet registering two points in the win.
Florida (AP) - Excuse the lack of city, I'm too lazy to look up where the Panthers play. I'm pretty sure it's St. Pete or Tampa or something, but whatever. The Bruins made light work of the Panthers in this one. It was their special teams that did all the talking as they scored two power play goals, a shorty, and an empty netter.
The game was close for the first two periods as it went into the 3rd tied at 1-1 with the shots almost equal. The Bruins flat out dominated in the 3rd period outshooting the Panthers 13 to 5 while scoring 3 goals.
The Bruins head back home for one game for a rematch against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Tuukka Rask is expected to be in net for that one.
