NHL Highlights: Bruins squander early lead en route to fifth straight loss

Share

FINAL SCORE: Lightning 3, Bruins 2

IN BRIEF: The Bruins squandered an early 1-0 lead and fell to the Lightning Thursday night at Amalie Arena. Two goals by Steven Stamkos and one by Brayden Point helped the Bolts win their second straight game. Patrice Bergeron's goal in the first period and John Moore's late third period tally was not enough to kick start Boston's offense. Defensive struggles and a lack of urgency continued to be an issue for Boston in their third game of the road trip. 

BRUINS RECORD: 20-7-6 (46 points)
