Lightning @ Bruins: The Beginning Period

Hey Bruins, you see that picture of Pastrnak? He is scoring goals. Scoring goals is fun. The rest of you should get in on the fun and score goals. Scoring goals helps you win games and winning is fun! We all like winning!

Onto today’s game:
The Lightning come to town for the second of five games against the Bruins. The Bruins won the first meeting 4-3 after a 10 round shootout. The Bolts have won four out of their last five road games.

The Bruins are still without Chara who is still day to day with a lower body injury. The Bruins did a “switch stick” drill in practice yesterday as a way to loosen up the team. Here’s hoping it worked.

Brad Marchand – Patrice Bergeron – David Pastrnak
