It is going to be like how we always play Florida. We know how they play and what type of game it is going to be. Their game is not going to change. We just have to build off the last game. We did a lot of good things with the puck. We are going to have to do that again tonight.
"I think we're doing a lot of good things," Mayfield said after Thursday's practice. "It starts with our goaltending and just making those little plays, coming out of the zone as a group of five. On the forecheck, we're getting in there and trying to create chances."
The B's had some brutal puck management issues to start the game that would contribute to a 2-0 deficit. Jake Guentzel created two turnovers that led to both goals. On the first one, the high-scoring winger picked Charlie McAvoy's pocket at the Boston blue line and the Bolts went on a quick counter-attack that resulted in an Anthony Cirelli tap-in off a Gage Goncalves pass just 1:09 into the game, Cirelli's first of two in the period.
