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.

With the rut that the luckless Bruins are stuck in, even their mothers can’t pull them out of it. With the Moms along for the ride on the annual family trip, the B’s furious third-period comeback attempt fell short and their losing streak stretched to six (0-5-1) with a 4-1 loss to the Lightning in Tampa.

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.
