Four Point Swing goes to the B’s

Tampa, Fla. — It was an uneventful first period with the shot count Boston 4, Tampa 8.  It was somewhat at least refreshing the Lightning led the shot count.  The next forty minutes the Lightning go listless and only get 13 shots over the next forty minutes.

Early Jump Ties Series

Early Jump Ties Series

Entering tonight’s game, Ben Bishop  came in looking to come back strong after he was pulled in the first game.  Bishop was task worthy tonight stopping 19 of 20 Islander shots.  He let in three goals Wednesday night.  This game goes down in history as a GREAT game by #30.
