Lightning beat the Bruins 3-1 hours after securing a playoff spot
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) --- Darren Raddysh broke a tie with 5:31 left and Tampa Bay
beat the Boston Bruins 3-1 on Saturday night, hours after the Lightning secured
a playoff spot.
The Atlantic Division-leading Lightning wrapped up the Eastern Conference
postseason position with Detroit's 4-1 loss at the New York Rangers in the
afternoon. Boston holds the first wild-card spot in the East.
After assisting on defenseman Charle-Edouard D'Astous' tying goal at 2:13 of
the third, Raddysh put the Lightning ahead with a sharp-angle shot past goalie
Jeremy Swayman from the right side on a break.
Nikita Kucherov added his 42nd goal of the season into an empty net, and Andrei
Vasilevskiy made 21 saves to help the Lightning finish a seven-game homestand
5-1-1.
Casey Mittelstadt scored for Boston in the second. Swayman stopped 20 shots as
the Bruins lost their second straight on a four-game trip. They lost 2-1 at
Florida on Thursday night.
Up next Bruins: At Philadelphia on Sunday. Lightning: At Buffalo on Monday night. ___ AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl |
