Panthers knock top-seeded Bruins out of Stanley Cup Playoffs with thrilling overtime victory in Game 7

In what was one of the most thrilling first rounds in the history of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Florida Panthers upset the NHL’s best regular season team ever, the Boston Bruins, as Carter Verhaeghe potted the Game 7 overtime goal to win the series, 4-3. 

It was a battle behind the net of Jeremy Swayman, who got his first start of the series after Linus Ullmark was shaky in the first six games in the eyes of head coach Jim Montgomery. 

After the puck found the stick of Sam Bennett, he dropped it off to Verhaeghe, who went high under the bar and just over Swayman’s shoulder for the game-winner.
