Bruins win 10-round shootout against Lightning

TAMPA-- Jimmy Hayes scored in the 10th round of the shootout to give the Boston Bruins a 4-3 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena on Thursday.
Brandon Carlo, Ryan Spooner and David Pastrnak scored for Boston (6-4-0). Tuukka Rask made 27 saves.

Hayes, who hasn't scored a point in the first 10 games, beat Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy high over his left shoulder in the shootout.
"It's nice to be able to contribute in the way that you want to contribute," Hayes said. "It's been up and down, but I have to just continue to build off this and find a way to find the back of the net."

Lightning forward Tyler Johnson tied the game 3-3 at 10:04 of the third period when he redirected a shot from defenseman Braydon Coburn that went under Rask's glove.
Johnson scored twice, and Victor Hedman scored for the Lightning (6-4-1). Vasilevskiy made 28 saves.

"I thought we played pretty well except for the fact that we got down by two [goals]," Johnson said. "We had to battle ourselves out of it and we were able to do that. But it's one of those things that we just can't be in a hole every time."
Carlo gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead at 4:01 of the first period when he was able to squeeze a sharp-angled shot over the block attempt of Andrej Sustr past Vasilevskiy.

Spooner made it 2-0 with a power-play goal at 10:47 with a slap shot that beat Vasilevskiy at the far post. The Lightning challenged the goal, claiming Brad Marchand was offside, but video review was declared inconclusive.
Boston has won three consecutive games to go 3-1-0 on a four-game road trip.
"I think we've done a good job on the road so far and our compete level has been good," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "It's not always pretty, but our guys are battlers and they respect what we're trying to do."
Hedman made it 2-1 at 15:09 with a power-play slap shot from inside the point that beat Rask on the stick side.

Pastrnak was credited with the goal that made it 3-1 at 4:38 of the second period. His shot deflected off Valtteri Filppula's skate and caught Vasilevskiy out of position.

Johnson scored the Lightning's second power-play goal at 8:30 with a wrist shot from inside the right circle that beat Rask high on the stick side to make it 3-2.
"A couple of power-play goals they scored, I could have done something better," Rask said. "But 5-on-5 we played really good and we got a power-play goal and a big penalty kill at the end there."

Goal of the game

Boston's second goal was a product of beautiful puck movement on the power play that set up Spooner with a one-timer. "We get the puck into the middle, and that seems to work for us," Spooner said. "So if we can keep trying to do that, then we will be good."

They said it

"For us, we've just got to find a way to jump up and have a better start than we had today. And, we like the way we battled back obviously, but we [have] to have a better start on Saturday against [the New Jersey Devils], that's for sure. We just have to prepare the right way and make sure we get two [points] on Saturday." -- Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman
"I think we've gone longer [then 10 rounds] too, so I was kind of looking [to see] when we were going to run out of players. It was an interesting shootout." -- Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask
