NHL Playoffs: Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Boston Bruins

 

The Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Boston Bruins series has been exciting from the start and with the series tied at 2 games each, game five should be thrilling.
In the last outing, the Lightning struck like ... well, lightning.
The B's led 3-0 into the second period in Tampa on Saturday, before Tampa Bay struck for three goals in a span of 3:58 and then went on to a win that might well have saved the Lightning's postseason. Bergeron scored twice and left wing Michael Ryder once in the first period to chase Dwayne Roloson and send the Lightning to the playoff ropes. They bounced back and made this a best-of-3 series.
The Bruins had a chance to take a 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference final in Tampa Saturday but surrendered a 3-0 lead and fell to the Lighting, who evened the series at 2-2 heading into Game 5 in Boston Monday night. Boston is 14-13 all-time when even at 2-2 in a best-of-seven series. Looking ahead, the Bruins are 18-4 when up 3-2 and 2-16 when down 2-3.
The Bruins' power play was 0-for-2 in Game 4 and is 0-for-5 in the last two games. They are a woeful 4-for-52 with the advantage in the postseason. The B's, 30-6-6 during the regular season when scoring first, were 7-0 when striking first in the playoffs before losing Saturday.
The Bruins have to rise to the occasion and playing at home in front of a raucous crowd should help them get the win and the advantage in the series.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have shown they can win anywhere and with any deficit, but the Bruins will take this game and the lead in the series.
