The Boston Bruins held onto a two-period lead to close out the final 20 minutes and open up the game, coming away with a 7-3 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight at the TD Garden.
Trent Frederic netted two of the goals, while 12 Bruins contributed at least a point in the win.
David Pastrnak and Matt Poitras also had two-point nights.
The Bruins lead 2-1 after the first period, after falling behind just 21 seconds into the game. Postgame, Jim Montgomery said he wasn’t concerned with the early deficit — which was the only time during the 60 minutes they didn’t have the lead or equalizing goal.
