With just a few points separating the Boston Bruins from the middle of the playoff pack, and with the rival Montreal Canadiens (tied with the Bruins in points in the standings) in action in Winnipeg, the black and gold couldn’t afford another disappointing showing like the one on display Tuesday in Philadelphia. It would appear as if they received that message loud and clear last night, putting forth a solid, workman-like effort to earn a 2-0 shutout victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning. Dennis Seidenberg and Daniel Paille did the scoring and Tuukka Rask stopped all 26 shots he faced, including some dazzling saves on Alex Killorn and Steven Stamkos, to lead the Bruins to the win.

Despite only a single point and a -3 rating over his last four games, few fans would say that Nathan Horton hasn’t been playing reasonably well and getting quality scoring chances recently. Last night in Tampa, Horton was finally able to break through, tallying two goals and firing a team-high six shots on net in one of his better performances of the year. Patrice Bergeron added a goal and an assist and the Bruins played what might be their most complete game of the season in a 4-2 win over the Lightning.

Game 14: Boston Bruins vs. Tampa Bay Lightning

Thursday, February 21st, 7:30pm, Tampa Bay Times Forum, Tampa Bay, FL

TV: NESN, NHL Network (US), SUN Tampa           Radio: 98.5 The Sports Hub

Just a day after it appeared the Bruins would likely be shorthanded on their current trip to the Sunshine State, all seven players that missed practice yesterday were accounted for as the team took to the ice at the Tampa Bay Times Forum for their last full practice before tomorrow night’s game with the Lightning. Despite a hot start the Bolts have cooled off recently, going 4-5-1 in their last 10 games, but with offensive threats like Steven Stamkos and Marty St. Louis, the Black and Gold will have their work cut out for themselves.
