The goal marked the 999th point and 494th goal of Stamkos's illustrious career. The Lightning captain has been red hot over the past few weeks and extended his season-long point streak to eight games with his goal. He's picked up 14 points during that eight-game span with six goals and eight helpers.
For Kucherov, his primary helper was his 25th assist of the season, the most among all NHL skaters. He's on a three-game point streak of his own with seven points, all assists, during that span.
Point, who collected the secondary assist, also extended his point streak to three games. He has picked up four goals and two assists for six points during the three-game streak.
Entering the third period with the score even at one apiece, Nick Perbix was whistled for tripping just 1:07 into the final frame before the Bruins capitalized on the power play with Hall getting his second goal of the evening.
"It's a tie game in the third period and you come in here and you want to take penalties against Boston and can't kill off one penalty," asked Lightning head coach Jon Cooper. "Shame on us."
Hall's power-play goal came on Boston's lone man advantage of the night before Brad Marchand found the empty net with 41 seconds remaining to make it 3-1 and ice the game for the Bruins.
"We didn't get any points," said Cooper. "We want to win games. We held them to two goals. Probably a little bit of a positive is it was a better showing maybe than we did at home, but in the end, we didn't get it done."
While the Bolts failed to earn any points, it did feel like there were times throughout the game where the team was playing extremely well in a very hostile environment against a top team in the NHL, especially in the second period.
Tampa Bay did a great job cycling the puck down well, sustaining offensive zone time, winning battles along the wall and keeping some of Boston's top weapons trapped in their own zone for the duration of their shift. But in the end, not being able to grab the lead in that middle frame proved to be costly.
