The Boston Bruins started the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a win against the Florida Panthers.
Lyon gave up the soft goal early in the second when Marchand fired a seemingly harmless shot from the top of the left circle. Lyon bent down to catch it and it tipped off his glove, caroming into the net after hitting the inside of the right post.Florida cut the lead in half when Boston defenseman Dmitry Orlov sent a blind, backhand pass directly out front, where Tkachuk collected it and flipped the puck past Ullmark at 6:34 of the second.
DeBrusk restored the two-goal lead when he dove into a pile and knocked the puck into the net out of a scramble near the crease late in the second. As it did to so many opponents during its record-setting season, Boston bottled up Florida in the third.The 30-year-old Lyon, undrafted and essentially a career minor leaguer, made a pair of splendid stops after Boston took its 1-0 lead, coming across to make a left pad save on Bertuzzi's redirect from the edge of the crease and sliding across to stop Trent Frederic's chance. He robbed Frederic again late in the second.
"We have not only Bergeron, but a couple of guys that have been under the weather," coach Jim Montgomery said after the morning skate. NOTES: Krejci missed the last six games of the regular season with a lower-body injury. … Bruins D Derek Forbort returned to the lineup.

D Matt Grzelcyk was a healthy scratch … Panthers C Aleksander Barkov was in the lineup after missing Sunday's practice. … Florida G Sergei Bobrovsky, a two-time Vezina winner, was the backup.
