Fans will fill the TD Garden tonight May 17 to watch the Boston Bruins take on the Florida Panthers in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup playoffs second round series.

The Panthers lead the series, 3-2. The Bruins need a win tonight to stay alive in this series. If the Bruins lose, they go home for the season. A win will send the team back to Florida for a Game 7 matchup on Sunday where the winner moves on to the Eastern Conference Finals, and then, with any luck, the Stanley Cup Final.

The Boston Bruins' Morgan Geekie (39) scores a goal against Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky during Game 5 at Amerant Bank Arena. The Bruins won, 2-1, to trim the Panthers' series lead to three games to two.
