The Bruins have now been beaten in their last two games. On Saturday they lost in a shootout against the Los Angeles Kings by the score 4-3. Monday night the Bruins were beaten by the Tampa Bay Lightning by the score 3-1.
In the game vs the Kings, the Bruins were down 3-0 and came back in the second and third periods to tie it up and send it into overtime. In Monday's game against the Lightning, the Bruins were outplayed in the first two periods but couldn't score enough in the third period to make a comeback.
Tim Thomas played in net against the Kings, making 23 saves on 26 shots. Thomas is now 10-1-1, with a 1.49 GAA, and a .954 save percentage. Blake Wheeler scored his 4th goal of the season, Gregory Campbell scored his 2nd goal of the season, and Patrice Bergeron scored his 3rd goal of the season in this game. The Bruins finally dominated a game in the faceoff circle going 43-25. The Bruins also led in shots 41-26.
Tuukka Rask played in net against the Lightning, making 33 saves on 36 shots. Rask is now 1-5-1, with a 2.36 GAA, and a .935 save percentage. Michael Ryder scored the only Bruins goal in this game, 6th goal of the season. The Lightning were better in the faceoff circle, going 27-21 and also led in shots 36-27. Zdeno Chara and Andrew Ference were both a -2, while Mark Stuart was the only plus player for the Bruins at a +1. Tyler Seguin played wing again and had 4 shots on net and a -1. Chara looked a little lost out there at times, because of the speed of the Lightning players. Nathan Horton and Milan Lucic both had 0 shots on net. Lucic had a good scoring chance at the end of the second period where he shot it wide of the net at the buzzer. Bergeron led the Bruins in shots with 5.
Another game with Randy Jones in it that I was hoping for someone to beat his face in, even though I knew nobody would do it because they don't want to jeopardize the game and the 2 points. I also wonder if Bergeron would ever challenge Jones to a fight and if Jones would accept.
The Bruins next game is on Wednesday at Florida against the Panthers.
