TD Garden is the stage on Nov 8, and the contrast in form is stark. Boston Bruins: W-W-W in the last 3 games, a run capped by a 6-2 demolition of Pittsburgh after a 3-2 win over Vegas and a 5-4 escape against Chicago. Florida Panthers: L-W-L in the last 3 games, and the visitors arrive in Boston less than 24 hours removed from a 4-3 defeat in Washington.

Last 8 meetings: Boston Bruins 2W, 0D, Florida Panthers 6W.

The history, though, favours the visitors. Florida have taken both meetings so far in 2026, won 4-3 in Boston last October, and the Bruins have managed just two wins in this series since May 2024. If the hosts are to snap that pattern, it would be against the recent grain.

Watchlist
  • Boston's momentum — a W-W-W surge crowned by their most emphatic result of the stretch, 6-2 in Pittsburgh.
  • Florida's quick turnaround, back on the ice barely a day after losing 4-3 in Washington while carrying L-W-L form.
  • The margins — all 8 of the last 8 meetings were decided by two goals or fewer, making one-score finishes this rivalry's signature.
