John Romano | GM Julien BriseBois takes a calculated risk by trading more first-round picks for Oliver Bjorkstrand and Yanni Gourde.
The Lightning (36-21-4) have gone from a team battling for a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference to pushing toward the top of the Atlantic Division by going 10-1-1 in their past 12 games heading into their game against the Buffalo Sabres at Amalie Arena on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; ESPN).
Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman is speaking up about trades that have affected his team. Those trades didn’t end up affecting the club on Saturday night. Boston knocked off Tampa Bay, 4-0, in a dominating effort.
Early in the third, the two newest members of the Lightning teamed up for the eventual game-winning goal. Following a Kucherov right-circle shot, Yanni Gourde knocked the puck to Oliver Bjorkstrand at the top of the crease, and Bjorkstrand swatted it in at 1:40.
The Bruins and Lightning are set for a 3 p.m. ET start on ABC. Live streams are available with offers from FuboTV (free trial), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and SlingTV (low intro rate). The game will also stream on ESPN+ ($11.99/mo.).
