Brandon Montour scored twice as a four-goal third period led the visiting Florida Panthers past the Boston Bruins 6–3 in Wednesday’s Game 2 of their Eastern Conference opening-round playoff series.

Montour is the first defenseman in Panthers history to record a multi-goal game in the postseason. Sam Bennett opened the scoring in his first game since March 20 (groin), while Eric Staal, Carter Verhaeghe and Eetu Luostarinen also found the net for Florida.
