Bruins Rally Past Panthers with Three-Goal Third Period

- Pavel Zacha scored the game-winning goal with 3:17 left in regulation as Boston defeated Florida 3-2 at TD Garden.
- David Pastrnak contributed a goal and an assist, breaking Florida's franchise-record shutout streak of 186 minutes and 49 seconds.
- The Bruins have won back-to-back games for the first time since early February, following a challenging stretch of eight losses in nine games.
- Former Bruins captain Brad Marchand, now with the Panthers after a trade, did not play due to an upper-body injury sustained earlier in March.
- Florida's six-game winning streak ended, with Dmitry Kulikov and Mackie Samoskevich scoring their goals in the losing effort.
