Lightning spoil Marchand’s 1000th game with 3-2 shootout win

If life in hockey was fair, the Tampa Bay Lightning would probably not have won their game against the Boston Bruins. However, sports are unpredictable and the deserving team doesn’t always get to post the W. Tampa Bay build an early 2-0 lead on goals by Erik Cernak and Nikita Kucherov only to see the Bruins erase that lead in the middle frame. Brayden Point scored the lone goal in the special skills session to garner the extra point for the Bolts. Andrei Vasilevskiy was outstanding (especially in overtime) as he posted 35 saves to snatch the victory away from the home team.
