The Bruins’ effort against the Lightning Tuesday night wasn’t a carbon copy of their 4-0 win over the Western Conference-leading Canucks last week. It was, however, a significant improvement from their underwhelming outings against a pair of potential Draft lottery squads in the Flames and Capitals coming out of the All-Star break.
The final result was a tad better from their two stinkers. But Jim Montgomery’s squad still fell a point short of securing another bounce-back win.
The Bruins came back from a 2-0 deficit behind Charlie McAvoy’s point shot and a rebound marker from James van Riemsdyk.
