This should be an intense, tight-checking game with the Bruins in revenge mode from a 5-2 road loss suffered to the Panthers on Nov. 23. Florida should have its confidence up following a 4-2 road victory against the Devils this past Saturday.

The Panthers may be without their captain and fourth-leading points producer, Aleksander Barkov. He suffered a lower-body injury against the Devils.

Both teams have been getting outstanding goaltending. The Bruins rank No. 1 in fewest goals allowed and in penalty kill.
