When asked how he felt about the officiating, Montgomery replied: 'We weren't very good the first two periods. I can't really say we earned any more power plays.'
The Panthers scored on four of their six power-play opportunities, including a pair of second-period goals on a double minor assessed to Bruins defenseman Mason Lohrei. 'That really changed the game,' Montgomery said.
The penalty kill had played a major factor in Boston's success this postseason. However, when it was needed most Friday night, the Black and Gold weren't able to answer the call.
The Panthers hold a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. The Bruins and Panthers return to the ice for Game 4 at TD Garden on Sunday evening.
