The Florida Panthers will look to get it right the second time when they try to eliminate the Boston Bruins tonight in Game 6 at TD Garden. A slow start cost the Cats bigly in Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to the Bruins at Amerant Bank Arena. The out-of-synch Panthers could only muster up a second period Sam Reinhart marker, which was sandwiched between goals from Morgan Geekie and Charlie McAvoy, wasting a standout performance from Sergei Bobrovsky. In the 12 playoff games between the two teams over the past two seasons, the visiting squad has won nine times. Let’s hope that trend continues.
