The Boston Bruins and the Florida Panthers will face off in Game 6 of the second round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs tonight, which could send one of the teams home for the year. We'll show you how to watch the Bruins vs. Panthers Game 6, including cable and live streaming options.
The Florida Panthers lead 3-2 over the Boston Bruins in Round 2 of the Playoffs, so a win tonight for the Panthers could send the Bruins packing. The Bruins managed to stave off elimination on Tuesday night when they pulled ahead with a 2-1 win. The Panthers led the Atlantic Division in this year's regular season and knocked out the Tampa Bay Lightning in five games during Round 1. The Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Round 1 match-up made it to Game 7, where the Bruins narrowly knocked out the Maple Leafs.

The Bruins vs. Panthers game will air on TNT and truTV on Friday, May 17, at 7 p.m. ET. For those without cable, there are a couple of live streaming options that can help you out. The cheapest will be subscribing to Max, which carries TNT, TBS, and truTV live games through its B/R Sports Add-on. Max subscriptions start at $9.99 a month. The add-on currently comes free with all subscriptions, but it will eventually cost an additional monthly fee of $9.99.
You can also watch TNT with a live TV streaming package like Sling TV, which will give you access to a minimum of 32 channels. Subscriptions start at $40 a month, but Sling currently offers a promo for half-off your first month. Both Sling Orange and Sling Blue carry TNT. Sling Orange offers a range of ESPN channels, while Sling Blue carries entertainment channels like FX and USA. You can also combine the two plans for $55 a month ($27.50 in your first month).
For those who might be traveling outside the US for the game, you can try keeping up with your subscriptions using a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs allow you to change your electronic device's virtual location so that you can use your usual apps and websites from anywhere in the world. They're also strong ways to boost your privacy on the internet. Since the services we've outlined today require US forms of payment, this recommendation will be best for Americans who are traveling abroad and looking to access their existing subscriptions.
Our go-to suggestion is ExpressVPN, which is easy to use and has a 30-day money-back guarantee. Check out our ExpressVPN review for more information, and keep reading to learn how to use a VPN.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
