What we learned: Lightning put Bruins on brink of elimination

The Boston Bruins had an extra day to get the bitter taste out of their mouths following their poor effort in Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Now they have to face a new reality.

The Bruins will have no margin for error after dropping their third straight game to the Lightning in Game 4. That’s a tall ask in and of itself, but coming back from a 3-1 series deficit against an upper-echelon team like the Lightning will provide a mountain of a challenge for Bruce Cassidy’s squad.

“We were just off net with too many good chances today,” Cassidy said following the 3-1 loss Saturday.
