Tampa Bay's point streak ended at 14 in the first game in NHL history between two teams with simultaneous point streaks of at least that many games.
Tuukka Rask made 20 saves and is 13-0-3 in his past 17 games (16 decisions) for the Bruins (38-17-9), who are 11-0-4 in their past 15 and 9-0-1 in their past 10. They lead the Toronto Maple Leafs by three points for second place in the Atlantic Division.

"We were sitting here waiting for them, they played last night, that generally factors into it," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said of the Lightning, who won 4-3 in overtime at the New York Rangers on Wednesday. "We're playing for a little bit more than they are I think as well in terms of the standings, so some of that factored into our urgency. But I think we did want to put our best foot forward, the team that knocked us out (of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the second round) last year. I wouldn't say a message, but we wanted to let them know that we're a good hockey club as well and we've changed a little since the last time we've seen them (a 3-2 loss Dec. 6)."
Louis Domingue made 37 saves, but his winning streak ended at 11 games for the Lightning (49-12-4), who were 12-0-2 in their past 14. They lead the Atlantic by 17 points.
"Today I felt bad for Louis," Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said. "He played outstanding, gave us a chance going into the third, one goal, and we just didn't have it tonight. It felt like we were in quicksand and they played really well. You've got to give them credit. Maybe this was a little bit of something that was coming for us. We didn't think we were playing well lately and we played a good team like this, and they definitely had more of the energy and played a better game than us."
