- Verhaeghe’s goal in OT of Game 7 lifts Panthers to 4-3 victory
- Boston had broken regular-season mark for points and wins
Brandon Montour tied it with one minute left in regulation, and Carter Verhaeghe scored the game-winner at 8:35 of overtime to lead the Florida Panthers to a 4-3 Game 7 victory on Sunday night and eliminate the record-setting Boston Bruins from the playoffs.
Sergei Bobrovsky made 28 saves as the Panthers won three in a row after falling behind 3-1 in the series to advance in the postseason for just the second time since reaching the Stanley Cup final in 1996. They will face the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second round.
