In a fast-paced start to the game, the Tampa Bay Lightning took an early lead over the Boston Bruins with a goal 21 seconds into the match by Brayden Point, wearing jersey number 21, marking the fastest goal the Bruins have conceded this season. It was Point's 41st point of the season, assisted by Nikita Kucherov. The Bruins responded with a power play opportunity when de Haan was penalized for holding, but the Lightning's goaltender, Vasilevskiy, was sharp during the penalty kill initially earned by Hagel's penalty. However, Trent Frederic managed to even the score for the Bruins at 1-1, netting a goal just as de Haan's penalty expired.
Vasilevskiy was sharp on that PK and the #Bolts get the Hagel penalty killed off.
Frederic scores in from just as de Haan is about to exit penalty pox. #GoBolts and #NHLBruins tied 1-1.
Bruins looked bad on the Lightning goal in the first minute. Trent Frederic scored a pretty goal to tie it 1-1
the Bruins score as de Haan is coming out of the penalty box 1-1
Bruins are getting the first power play of the game as de Haan gets two for holding with 17:18 left in the first.
de Haan is sitting in the box for holding so the Bruins have the first power play of the game with 17:18 on the clock
That was quick… https://t.co/NbV8BK7o7S
Brayden Point opens the scoring 21 seconds into the game and it’s 1-0 #Bolts with Hagel and Kucherov getting in on the forecheck before Kucherov found Point right in front.
No. 21 makes it 1-0 #GoBolts over #NHLBruins 21 ticks into the game. That is the fastest goal the Bruins have allowed this season. @BOSHockeyNow
