The Boston Bruins will be looking to make it three wins in a row after coming out on top 4-2 at home against the Anaheim Ducks on Monday.
Boston has been able to pick up the pace on the offensive end of the ice the last couple of games and should have plenty of chances to put the puck in the nylon in this one.
Tampa Bay Lightning
The Tampa Bay Lightning will be on a mission to get a winning streak going following a 3-1 win against the Canadiens their last time on the ice. Tampa Bay was outshot 22-34 in the game and lost the faceoff battle 20-30.
Nonetheless, they were able to come away with the win on the road.
The Lightning were able to put the puck in the net on their only power-play opportunity and defended the goal four of the five times they were forced to skate with a man in the box. They had 25 blocked shots and five takeaways in the game.
Tampa Bay has been good for an average of 3.83 goals per game this season while giving up 3.00 to their opponents. They’ve been able to fire 25.7 shots per night while allowing 34.2 on the defensive end of the ice.

Free Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Boston Bruins NHL Prediction:
The Boston Bruins are strong on the defensive end of the ice this season. They are building confidence on offense and their goals per game average has increased in the last two or three contests.
The Lightning are giving up more shots per night than Boston and I think the Bruins take advantage of playing in front of their home crowd. I like Boston winning by a couple goals on Thursday.
