PREGAME NOTES

The Boston Bruins begin a stretch of three games in four nights to conclude the regular season when they host the Eastern Conference-leading Florida Panthers on Tuesday.

The Bruins, who have won four of their last five games, hold a three-point lead over Washington for the No. 1 wild card position.

Florida (57-16-6, 120 points) has already clinched the top spot in the conference for the first time ever, but its franchise-record 13-game win streak was snapped in Sunday's 8-4 loss to Tampa Bay.

Florida and Boston haven't met since Oct. 27 and 30 when the Panthers took a 4-1 win and 3-2 shootout loss, respectively.
