Martin St. Louis [8], Dominic Moore [9], and Pavel Kubina [10] were the game's three stars.
The Lightning absolutely dominated Boston for about 36 of the first 40 minutes, and outshot Boston 36-27 overall on the game, with a ton of chances. They could've scored another 8 like in Philly if not for the play of Tuukka Rask. That's a nice statement to make on national TV.
Mathieu Roy [11] had 1 hit in 2:51. Nice work if you can get it.
Dana Tyrell [12] had a goal and was +1 with 2 shots, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 12:33. That was probably his best NHL game thus far, and not just because of the goal he got going into a high traffic area. His speed was evident, and he got himself another nice chance from the left wing circle he just shot wide with Rask screened. The most impressive thing I saw, though, was Tyrell almost knocked Zdeno Chara off the puck at one point after Steve Downie [13] almost got killed trying to run at Chara. How strong is Dana Tyrell if he can move a mountain like Chara?
Blair Jones [14] was scoreless in 6:01.
Expect moves to be made with Ritola coming off suspension and Gagne seemingly close to returning.
