The Florida Panthers lost Game 1 of this series by a score of 3-1 on Monday night. Florida recorded 32 shots on goal and went 0-2 on the power play in the loss. Matthew Tkachuk led the way for the Panthers in Game 1 with three shots on goal and one goal. Aaron Ekblad added four shots on goal for Florida. Alex Lyon stopped 26 of 29 shots for the Panthers, which was good for an .897 save percentage.

The Boston Bruins won Game 1 of this series by a score of 3-1 and are three wins away from advancing to the second round. Boston recorded 29 shots on goal and went 1-2 on the power play in the win. David Pastrnak, Brad Marchand, and Jake DeBrusk scored one goal each, while Tyler Bertuzzi added two assists. Dmitry Orlov led Boston with five shots on goal in the game. Linus Ullmark stopped 31 of 32 shots on goal for the Bruins, which was a .969 save percentage. 

Trends

Florida is 9-1 in their last 10 Wednesday games and 4-1 in their last 5 games played on on day of rest. The under is 7-3 in Florida’s last 10 first round playoff games. Boston is 4-0 in their last 4 Wednesday games and 42-11 in their last 53 games played on one day of rest. The over is 5-2-1 in Boston’s last 8 first round playoff games. The home team is 8-0 in these two teams last 8 head to head meetings. 

Pick

Boston looks to take a 2-0 series lead in this game and will be on home ice, where they have been dominant this season. Florida was able to keep Game 1 close and generated plenty of shots on goal, but could only score one goal on Ullmark. The Bruins should be healthier for Game 2, after an illness was going around their locker room before Game 1. I like Boston to win this game by at least two goals and to take a 2-0 series lead.
