Ben Sexton opened the scoring with a first-period goal, Boston’s first of the tournament. Sexton was a seventh-round draft pick by the B’s in 2009, and he tallied two points (one goal, one assist) in nine games for the Providence Bruins last season.
After the Lightning took a 2-1 lead, the Bruins tied the score in the third period with a goal from Frankie Simonelli.
