The Boston Bruins struck first against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night.
Bruins forward Drew Stafford gave the B’s a 1-0 lead when he found the back of the net with a beautiful backhanded goal.
The goal was Stafford’s first goal in his last 12 games and seventh of the season. The Bruins acquired Stafford at the NHL trade deadline from the Winnipeg Jets and the acquisition has paid huge dividends for Boston. David Krejci and Adam McQuaid were credited with assists on Stafford’s goal.
