The Bruins and Panthers meet again.

Boston sent the TD Garden into a frenzy on Saturday night by defeating the Maple Leafs 2-1 in overtime in Game 7. By sending Toronto home packing in wild fashion in front of the Bruins faithful, Boston punched itself a ticket to the second round against a team its familiar with.

Florida famously upset the Bruins in the first round last year, kicking Boston out of the playoffs in Game 7 at the Garden. The Bruins blew a 3-1 series lead after winning the President's Trophy in the regular season with a NHL-record 135 points and 65 wins. The Panthers squeaked into the playoffs as a wild card team with 92 points.

This time around, Boston is the underdog — Florida finished with one more point in the regular season (110) than Boston (109).

The Bruins will seek revenge and look to jump out to an early series lead as the road team.

Here's the full second-round schedule between the Bruins and Panthers:

Game 1: Boston @ Florida. Monday, May 6 at 8 p.m. on ESPN.

Game 2: Boston @ Florida. Wednesday, May 8, time TBD on ESPN.

Game 3: Florida @ Boston. Friday, May 10, time TBD on TNT, Max, and truTV.
