Radio broadcaster Dave Mishkin recaps Tampa Bay's victory over Boston The Lightning edged the Bruins in a spirited game and picked up a key divisional victory. The triumph allowed Tampa Bay to leapfrog Boston in the standings, and the Lightning still own five games in hand on the Bruins.

During the final seconds of the third period, Bruins forward Mark Kastelic and Lightning defenseman Emil Lilleberg had a big fight. Kastelic went to throw a hit on Lilleberg after the Lightning defenseman passed the puck and was met with a cross-check to the face. Immediately after this, Kastelic and Lilleberg dropped the gloves.

At this point of the season, the Lightning trail the Bruins by one point for third in the Atlantic Division. A win in regulation tonight would allow the Lightning to pass the Bruins and take over the third-place spot in the division. A regulation loss, on the other hand, would make the Lightning three points behind the Bruins.

The Boston Bruins are falling and falling fast as a 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night at Amalie Arena, stretching their recent skid to a season-long six games.
