Haula provided a backhanded helper as Boston outshot Tampa Bay 26-10
BOSTON — Charlie Coyle finally found the back of the net for the Boston Bruins with a second-period tally against the Tampa Bay Lightning at TD Garden.
It gave the Bruins a 26-10 edge in shots on goal Saturday and cut their deficit to 2-1. Boston sounded three additional shots off the post during the first 40 minutes.
Coyle’s goal came on an impressive backhanded feed from Erik Haula, who collected a rebound on an initial shot attempt by Craig Smith and slid it through the crease past Tampa Bay goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy.
