Mackie Samoskevich and Sam Bennett scored for the Panthers (37-35-3), who have won two straight. Bobrovsky has won five of his past seven starts.<\/p>\n
Fraser Minten scored, and Jeremy Swayman made 22 saves for the Bruins (43-25-8), who had won four straight and six of seven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Florida took a 2-0 lead less than eight minutes into the first period.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Samoskevich made it 1-0 at 4:20 by scoring for a third straight game. He picked off a pass by Henri Jokiharju below the goal line on the forecheck, then skated to the top of the left face-off circle and sent a wrist shot inside the near post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bennett pushed the lead to 2-0 at 7:39, lifting a shot from the slot over Swayman\u2019s shoulder after A.J. Greer\u2019s initial attempt was blocked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Minten cut the deficit to 2-1 at 19:33 when he put in a rebound at the right post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bobrovsky preserved the lead 39 seconds into the third period when he dove at the right post and used his glove to knock down David Pastrnak\u2019s shot from close range.<\/p>\n
The Bruins went on the power play at 16:39, but the Panthers penalty kill kept them off the board.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The banged-up Panthers were playing without two of their top defensemen after Aaron Ekblad and Dmitry Kulikov were injured in the third period of a 6-3 win against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ekblad broke a finger blocking a shot, and Kulikov broke his nose after getting struck by a deflected puck. Coach Paul Maurice said Kulikov could return this weekend when Florida plays at the Pittsburgh Penguins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mackie Samoskevich and Sam Bennett scored for the Panthers (37-35-3), who have won two straight.
