Florida Panthers vs. Boston Bruins Prediction: Can Matthew Tkachuk, Panthers Bounce Back in Game 6?

Back to the TD Garden for Friday night puck. The Florida Panthers hold a 3-2 lead in this second round Eastern Conference matchup over the Boston Bruins. The Bruins were able to steal Game 5 on the road to keep their season alive and will look to do so once again back on home ice tonight.

Florida Panthers vs. Boston Bruins Game 6 Prediction

I will ride withMatthew Tkachuk and the Cats till the wheels fall off - Boston did a terrific job in Game 5 down in Florida to force Game 6 back at the TD Garden tonight and that is obviously something the Cats wanted to avoid. It is incredibly hard to overcome a 3-1 deficit but you have to win Game 5 to start it and it they did that.

They have some momentum now and heading back to Boston for home ice in Game 6 is massive. With that said, Boston is winless on home ice in this series, Boston outscored Florida 9-4 in the six periods at the TD Garden thus far. Now should that be motivation for Boston to go win at least one game for the fans on home ice in this series? Yes, obviously but you have to look at motivation from both sides. Florida does not want to let this go to seven as everyone knows, anything goes once you get there.

I still think the Cats hold a massive advantage here. Florida has dominated much of this series and have done the majority of the scoring as well. Aside from Game 1, Boston has scored two goals or less in every game. I do not see them winning another 2-1 game tonight so if they want to win, they need to beat Bob.
