Stamkos gets 500th point in Lightning win at Boston

BOSTON — The Lightning broke the Beantown hex.

Tampa Bay rallied from an early two-goall deficit to defeat Boston 6-3 on a Columbus Day matinee Monday at TD Garden.

It was the Lightning’s first regular-season win in Boston since March 25, 2010, snapping a 10-game winless streak.

Steven Stamkos notched his 500th career point on a power play goal late in the second period.

Ben Bishop tied the franchise record for wins with his 83rd, matching Nikolai Khabibulin, after making 27 saves.

And Tampa Bay is 3-0 for the first time since the 2010-11 season.
