The Boston Bruins are struggling to match the level of the Florida Panthers, who showcased their dominance in a recent 4-3 victory. Despite missing key players Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk, the Panthers capitalized on the Bruins' lack of discipline and inability to win crucial battles on the ice.

Head coach Jim Montgomery emphasized the need for Boston to improve their mental game and reduce penalties, as they continue to falter against the Panthers. With the Bruins' playoff history against Florida in mind, the urgency to elevate their performance is clear.
