David Pastrnak hits Panthers Anton Lundell with a nasty right hook

Early in the matchup, Bruins forward David Pastrnak made a statement by landing a heavy hit on Panthers' Anton Lundell, which sent him to the ice.

The hit, which involved a punch to Lundell's face, led to a roughing penalty against Pastrnak. Despite the Panthers' power play, they failed to score, and Pastrnak turned the situation around by scoring the first goal of the game right after serving his penalty.

This fiery exchange is just the beginning of what seems to be a series of retaliatory actions by the Bruins, setting the tone for a highly charged and must-watch continuation of the series.
