BOSTON — The Bruins captured the first of what they hope will be 16 wins on the way to the Stanley Cup over the next two months on Monday at the Garden.
But in their first round opening game against the Florida Panthers, the B’s were reminded of just how difficult that journey will be.
The Panthers’ forecheck gave the B’s fits at times in the first two periods, but the B’s took control in the third period to grind out a 3-1 victory.
