Montgomery shoulders blame as Bruins in 2-1 hole to Panthers

Lamenting his team's slow starts in Games 2 and 3, Jim Montgomery said it will be back to the drawing board to find a way for his Bruins to knot up their series against the Panthers in Game 4 on Sunday.

Panthers take a 2-1 series lead over the Bruins, scoring 4 power-play goals in a 6-2 victory

— The Florida Panthers pounced on the power play, scoring twice on a Bruins double-minor — and four goals in all with a man advantage — to take a 2-1 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal series.
