The Bruins got the game\u2019s first goal on a breakaway from Morgan Geekie, but Lightning forward Brandon Hagel scored on a rush chance of his own to tie the score in the third.<\/p>\n
Defenseman Emil Lilleberg then won the game on a rebound chance with 1:35 left in the game, and Tampa Bay got 19 saves from goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy in the win.<\/p>\n
