Matthew Tkachuk scored twice, Eetu Luostarinen put Florida ahead to stay with 5:38 left in what was a crazed third period, and the Panthers forced a Game 7 in their Eastern Conference first-round series by beating the Boston Bruins 7-5 on Friday night.

Aleksander Barkov, Brandon Montour, Zac Dalpe and Sam Reinhart also scored for the Panthers, who got 30 saves from Sergei Bobrovsky. Reinhart capped it with an empty-netter with 28 seconds left -- the seventh and final goal of the third period, four of those goals by Florida.

The team with the best regular-season record in NHL history took one-goal leads on two separate occasions in the third period -- and couldn't hold either one of them. Now, they face a Game 7 on Sunday just to get into the second round against a Florida team that has already staved off elimination twice.

And less than four minutes later, Luostarinen made it 6-5 -- the Panthers back on top with 5:38 left, a sellout crowd in Sunrise waiving white towels in unison. Boston pulled Ullmark twice with hopes of netting the equalizer, had good looks at it in the final minute, but Bobrovsky and Florida's defence held on and Reinhart banged a puck off the boards, down the ice and into the net to seal the win.It was captain Patrice Bergeron's 1,463rd game with the Bruins, including the playoffs.
