Bruin Casey Mittelstadt took the puck away in the Tampa Bay defensive zone and dished to teammate Cole Koepke, who darted in alone on Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy. Koepke attempted to sneak the puck through Vasilevskiy, and an unlucky bounce allowed the puck to find the back of the net 10:32 into the period.

The Boston Bruins took a 4-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday at AMALIE Arena. Cole Koepke gave Boston a 1-0 lead in the second period before a tough bounce resulted in a goal for Bruins forward Mark Kastelic in the third period for a 2-0 advantage.

Jeremy Swayman stopped all 26 shots he faced to lead the Boston Bruins to a 4-0 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.

Cole Koepke scored twice and the Bruins, who watched some heart soul players leave on Friday, scored a 4-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Goaltender Jeremy Swayman broke a personal six-game losing streak with his fourth shutout as the Boston Bruins, depleted by an active NHL trade deadline, blanked the host Tampa Bay Lightning 4-0 on Saturday.

Facing Bruins

There really wasn't much defense played Thursday, and Vasilevskiy was the busier of the two netminders. Chalk this up to a run-and-gun game. Vasilevskiy hadn't allowed this many goals since Nov. 27 in a loss to the Capitals. He's cruising in Vezina territory this season.

Swayman, who was 0-4-2 in his previous six starts, got his fourth shutout of the season. Cole Koepke scored twice for the Bruins (29-28-8), who had lost three straight. Boston mad

This was the Lightning’s second straight subpar outing. On Thursday, they were able to overcome defensive problems and beat Buffalo. In this contest, however, they were flat throughout the game and saw their seven-game home winning streak come to an end.

Starting Thursday

In taking all three games of their homestand coming out of the 4 Nations Faceoff break, the Lightning (34-20-4, 72 points, third place in the Atlantic) have outscored opponents 11-2.
