Bruins Blast Panthers

     Among all the trades that the Florida Panthers made on Tuesday, they played a game in Boston and lost to the Bruins 4-1 at TD Garden. The Cats, who have now lost eight of their last ten games, acquired Roberto Luongo earlier in the day from the Vancouver Canucks for Shawn Matthias and Jacob Markstrom. They also traded away Mike Weaver to the Montreal Canadiens.
     The first period belonged to Boston(39-17-5) as they got out to a two-goal lead. David Krejci snapped in an unassisted goal at 7:29 and Jarome Iginla put in a wrist shot from the right circle at 11:01.
     In the final minute of the second period, the B's would extend their margin to 3-0 with 47.9 seconds remaining. Dylan Olsen was unable to clear it as Krejci passed the puck from the left wing to Kevan Miller on the right point. His slapshot was saved by Tim Thomas, but Krejci followed with a snap shot from the slot.
     The shutout was broken by Florida(23-32-7) with 7:13 to go in the third period when Brian Campbell scored on a backhand shot with an assist from Sean Bergenheim. It was the sixth goal this season by Campbell.
     Krejci would finish up with the hat trick as he scored his third goal of the game with 13.3 seconds left in the third as he put the puck into an empty net from the red line.
