PASTR-’NASTY’ GOAL NOT ENOUGH,
PANTHERS FORCE GAME 7

Friday, April 28: The Panthers have forced the Bruins into an all-or-nothing Game 7 after a 7-5 victory Friday night in Sunrise, Florida. 

The Panther led 3-2 entering the third period, but the two teams combined for 7 goals in the final 20 minutes, with the Bruins scoring three in the first 10:22 to take a 5-4 lead. But Matthew Tkachuk tied it just 27 seconds later on the power play and Eetu Luostarinen scored the game-winner at 14:22 after Brandon Montour made a nice play to prevent a Bruins zone clearance.

David Pastrnak had two power-play goals, the first setting the internet ablaze — a stunning shot to tie the game at 2-2 in the second period.
