The Florida Panthers took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission against the Boston Bruins in Game 3 after capitalizing on a turnover by Bruins center Pavel Zacha shortly after a powerplay.
Game 3 kicked off with energy to spare. The Florida Panthers? They snagged a 1-0 lead going into the first break. How? Well, right after they dodged a bullet with a Panthers powerplay, the Bruins made a blunder.
Just 16 seconds post-powerplay, in the thick of the opening period, Bruins’ Pavel Zacha goofed. Big time. He lost the puck in no man’s land – the neutral zone. And just like that, it led to the night’s first goal.
