The Boston Bruins were able to snap the Tampa Bay Lightning?s eight-game playoff winning streak thanks in large part to the play of rookie Tyler Seguin. The Lightning will look to bounce back in Game 3 Thursday when the series moves to Florida.
Tampa Bay is a -135 favorite and the over/under total is 5.5 in NHL Betting at JustBet.
Tampa Bay beat Boston 5-2 on Saturday in Game 1, but their comeback effort fell short in Game 2 Tuesday as the Bruins prevailed 6-5. The Lightning trailed 6-3 going into the third period, and they were able to score two goals in the final period but time ran out before they could score the tying goal.
Tyler Seguin, the second overall pick in last year?s NHL draft, was a spectator in Boston?s first two series, but he has come on strong in the Eastern Conference finals. He had a goal and an assist in Boston?s 5-2 Game 1 loss and followed that up with a two goal, two assist effort in Game 2.
?He was really the reason we won,? Bruins forward Brad Marchand said. Seguin has been given the opportunity to play in this series because Patrice Bergeron has sat out with a mild concussion. It is unknown when or if Bergeron will return, but he has not been ruled out of the entire series.
Tampa Bay goaltender Dwayne Roloson had a rare off night in Game 2. Roloson was replaced at the start of the third period by Mike Smith after allowing six goals on 27 shots. He has been one of the surprises of the postseason, and he led all postseason players with a 2.01 goals-against average and a .941 save percentage going into Game 2.
