The Stanley Cup Playoffs start back up on Saturday at noon when the Boston Bruins take on the Tampa Bay Lightning.
After two days without hockey, NHL teams will get back on the ice on Saturday. At noon, the Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning square off in Game 4 of their second round series. Currently, the Lightning lead the Bruins 2-1.
Game 3 saw the Lightning blow the Bruins off the ice, as Tampa won 7-1 after winning Game 2 4-3 in overtime. The Bruins took Game 1 3-2. This game will be held in the Toronto bubble, with the Bruins serving as the “home” team.
For the Boston Bruins, this game is pretty much a “must win” game. They’re already down 2-1 in the series and can’t afford to go down 3-1 to a team like Tampa. For the Tampa Bay Lighting, they’ll look to put the Bruins behind the eight ball and improve their winning streak to three games.
