Bruins' Lucic sucks life out of Panthers with game winner

The Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers met in a crucial match-up on Tuesday that had major playoff implications.

If the Bruins finished victorious they would pull six points ahead of the Panthers, who only have five games remaining on the season, for the Eastern Conference's last playoff spot.

A Florida win would pull them within two points and give them life in a tight race.

Bruins forward Milan Lucic may have single-handedly ended the Panthers season with the following game winner.

The Bruins walked away with a 3-2 victory and have five games left on their season's schedule to try and secure a spot in the postseason.
