For sixty minutes the Tampa Bay Lightning went toe-to-toe with the Boston Bruins, putting forth a much more focused effort than they did in their previous meeting. Unfortunately, a two-goal effort from Taylor Hall prevented the Bolts from ending the Bruins home-winning streak. Brad Marchand added an empty net goal to provide the final 3-1 margin as the Bruins extended their home winning streak to 13 games.
Steven Stamkos scored on the power play to creep one point closer to the magic number of 1000 while Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 23 of 25 in the loss.
