The Bruins are on quite a roll. With the win the Bruins have won their fifth straight and tenth straight at home. The Bruins took it to the Lightning in the first period and left the ice with a 3-0 lead after 20 minutes.
After that the Bruins went through spurts and let the Bolts back into the game. The Lightning cut it to 4-3 late but the Bruins were able to add an empty netter with 10 seconds to play and took the game 5-3.
During the game the Bruins lost Stephane Yelle, who suffered an upper-body injury in the second period. The irony of this is that Yelle ran into a linesman and took the worst of it.
Yelle is experiencing muscle spasms and from reports it looks as though Yelle will be out Wednesday against the Capitals. However, according to head coach Claude Julien Yelle is not seriously hurt.
After the game the Bruins recalled Vladimir Sobotka from Providence on an emergency basis. Sobotka will practice tomorrow and may very well play if Marco Sturm isn't ready to get back in the lineup.
Neither Aaron Ward nor Marco Sturm played tonight. Today was Ward's second day back on the ice since suffering his left leg injury last Saturday night. Sturm had a setback but said he's hoping things restart in the right direction. Both Ward and Sturm are expected to travel to Washington tomorrow for the start of the club's two-game road trip. Ward looks like the closer of the two to a return.
