Lightning 4, Bruins 3

 

What? I'm used to losing to the Florida Panthers, but now we're losing to any random Florida Man team?

The Tampa Bay Lightning hand the Bruins their first loss of the season, 4-1. To add insult to injury, it was the Lightning's first win of the season. They're now 1-2-0. 

Tampa Bay's Anthony Cirelli's two goals gave the Lightning a 2-0 lead in the first period. Casey Mittelstadt, Morgan Geekie, and defenseman Jordan Harris scored goals for the Bruins in the second period, but Tampa scored two more goals of their own that period. Both sides were shut out in the third and the game ended in a 4-3 Bruins' loss. Joonas Korpisalo made 19 saves in the net.

The Panthers lost as well yesterday, 5-2, to the Philadelphia Flyers, so Boston and Florida are both tied for first in the Atlantic at 3-1-0 and 6 points.

The Bruins are off until Thursday night when they travel to Las Vegas to play the Golden Knights (1-0-2).
