Panthers up 3-1 on Boston now with 6:27 left in 2nd.by Tom Gulitti via twitter 4/9/2018 12:56:57 AM

However this ends, credit to the Panthers. They had to travel to Boston after playing last night to play a game after everyone else's season is over and the day after they were mathematically eliminated.

After two periods, Panthers lead Bruins 3-1.
If Panthers win, Tampa Bay wins Atlantic and faces Devils in first round of playoffs. Bruins would face Toronto.

Maybe it doesn't mean anything for next season. Maybe it does. You never know with these things
But Florida Panthers and Bob Boughner should be proud of way they finished the season, particularly last two nights after being eliminated and not having Barkov.

Alex Ovechkin can breathe easy: Since no individual player scored 16-or-more goals in #NHLBruins -#FlaPanthers game Sunday, he has secured his NHL-record 7th career goal-scoring title (49G). Boston's Brad Marchand (entered play w 34G) was the closest, um, pursuer, in season finaleby Ben Raby via twitter 4/9/2018 2:21:38 AM
