Boston in excellent home form with elite goaltending faces Florida without Barkov, Marchand, and Lundell — hosts have clear edge in class and health.
Match analysis
Boston 7-1-0 at home, 3 straight wins (6, 3, 5 goals), goalies Swayman (.913) and DiPietro (.925) among league leaders. Florida loses 1C Barkov (IR until 27 Nov), 2C Lundell (OUT), top LW Marchand (IR until 21 Nov) — attack decapitated. Panthers 0-3-0 vs Atlantic, away 5-4-2, goalies Schmid (.886) and Markstrom (.885) weak. Market gives Boston 49.5%, but factoring Florida injuries and Bruins home dominance true probability ~55%. Odds 2.25 gives edge >20%.
