SUNRISE, Fla. - In a season of impressive feats, one of the Bruins' most notable achievements was that they had avoided consecutive losses well past the halfway mark of the 2022-23 campaign. But in their 49th game of the year, that streak ended - quite abruptly - as Boston surrendered three different one-goal leads en route to a 4-3 overtime loss to the Florida Panthers on Saturday night at FLA Live Arena.
David Pastrnak gave the Bruins the lead with just 48 seconds remaining when he tallied his 38th goal of the season, but the Black & Gold failed to hang on as they allowed the tying goal to Aleksander Barkov with 3 seconds to go in regulation. Sam Reinhart then won it for Florida only 17 seconds into the extra session to hand the Bruins their second straight loss after the club's 3-2 setback in Tampa on Thursday night.
