Radio broadcaster Dave Mishkin recaps Tampa Bay's victory over Boston The Lightning edged the Bruins in a spirited game and picked up a key divisional victory. The triumph allowed Tampa Bay to leapfrog Boston in the standings, and the Lightning still own five games in hand on the Bruins.

A goal scored with Tampa Bay on the penalty kill propels it to a 2nd straight home win over a tough Eastern Conference opponent.

During the final seconds of the third period, Bruins forward Mark Kastelic and Lightning defenseman Emil Lilleberg had a big fight. Kastelic went to throw a hit on Lilleberg after the Lightning defenseman passed the puck and was met with a cross-check to the face. Immediately after this, Kastelic and Lilleberg dropped the gloves.
