Boston Bruins Suffer Crushing 6-2 Loss to Tampa Bay Lightning

A disastrous second period, where the Bruins failed to register a single shot, left fans and players reeling at TD Garden.

The Tampa Bay Lightning dominated the Boston Bruins in a 6-2 victory, snapping their three-game losing streak.
Boston was outshot 20-0 in the second period, marking only the second time this season the team failed to register a shot in a period.
Anthony Cirelli led the Lightning with two goals, including a crucial tip-in during the second period, while Nick Paul and Darren Raddysh each added a goal and an assist.
Elias Lindholm, who called the Bruins' performance 'unacceptable,' scored one goal and assisted another but acknowledged the team's lack of effort, particularly in the second period.
The loss leaves the Bruins at 30-30-8 and further diminishes their playoff hopes as they sit outside the wild-card race.
