Wow. What a shift — Marchand ties it.

Coleman again. 3-2 Tampa. Need to have that.

Good stop by Halak on Coleman.

Clifton off for interference.

Third period is a go.

End Second: 2-2 game.

No dice on the power play.

Hedman is NOT thrilled with that call.

Annnnnd Tampa answers right back. Kucherov with the deflection.

Marchand buries one on the power play. 2-1 game.

Bruins back on the power play. Palat off for a high stick.

Boston lands its first SOG in 8 minutes. Very disjointed game so far.

Bruins kill off the penalty.

Kuraly called for a penalty. Kucherov does not on the earlier infraction.

Second period is a go.

“(Stopping Pastrnak) is very similar to defending (Nikita) Kucherov in practice," Cooper said. "The one thing about defending Pasta, his release is so fast. You look at the power-play goal he scored last night. (David) Krejci makes a hell of a pass to him, but that’s on and off the stick. A lot of guys can’t do that.



“You have to be in position on him. You can’t fall asleep,” Cooper added. “That’s when those guys get you. Especially that line. You give them an inch, they take a mile. We have to be harder on them. We have to be a little more positionally sound and keep those guys on the perimeter as much as possible.”
