Bruins third-line center Jesper Boqvist picked the perfect time to tally his sixth goal of the season — in overtime against the Florida Panthers on Saturday.
Boqvist, who has appeared in 43 games for the B’s this season, stole the puck from Florida defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson and skated unopposed into the offensive zone, beating Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky with the game-winning wrist shot.
It was the 25-year-old’s first shot of the game. Boqvist saw 11:43 minutes of ice time over 16 shifts in the Bruins’ 3-2 overtime victory at TD Garden. Boston completed the regular-season sweep with Florida, taking all four games.
