Game-breaking injury news strikes Bruins vs Panthers game 2

May 8, 2024

In a significant development that could impact the outcome of Game 2 between the Boston Bruins and the Florida Panthers, the Panthers will be without Sam Bennett.

Bennett, a key player for the Panthers, has been sidelined for two weeks due to an injury he sustained in Game 2 of their series against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Although he was recently classified as day-to-day, his absence from this morning's skate makes it evident that he will not be available to play in tonight's game.

The Boston Bruins came into this series as the underdog and many people thought that the Panthers were going to sweep the Bruins.

The Bruins proved people wrong as they took the first game 5-1 and Jeremy Swayman played lights out. The question now is, who does Jim Montgomery start for game 3?

Austin Sabourin

Austin Sabourin grew up measuring winters by Bruins schedules and summers by draft. A rink kid from the first slapshot, he learned geography by road trips to the Garden and history by numbers in rafters. Ray Bourque posters curled above his desk; a scuffed puck rode in his backpack as talisman. The team's black and gold became a compass-pointing toward grit, loyalty, and the thrill of overtime breath-holds. That compass eventually pointed him online. Austin studied communications, then chased beat reporting, freelancing between practices and late-night recaps. In June 2023 he took the reins at BruinsInsider.com, where he edits tape breakdowns, tracks lines, and files stories before the Zamboni's lap. He prefers strong verbs to puff, stats to noise, and sources who text back after road losses. The site runs lean but quick-like a third-line forecheck that refuses to coast. Away from the press box, he still talks like a fan: superstitious hoodie, stubborn optimism, grudges softened by highlight reels. Weekend mornings start with coffee and cap math; evenings end with film study and a note to fix tomorrow's headline. He's chasing clarity over clicks, access over hype, and a simple promise: never miss what really matters to Bruins fans.
