FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The Florida Panthers know what awaits them on Friday night. A fired-up crowd in Boston, an angry bunch of Bruins, probably a good amount of chirping and a tension the likes of which can only be created during the NHL playoffs. Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk can't wait. Game 3 of a knotted-up Eastern Conference second-round series between the Panthers and Bruins is Friday in Boston — and tensions ran hot in Game 2. Tkachuk and Bruins star David Pastrnak fought in the third period, a rarity for offensive stars. It was just the third fighting penalty of the season for Tkachuk, and Pastrnak's first since March 2018.
