NHL Eastern Conference Finals - Game 3

BOSTON 2 TAMPA BAY 0 - Boston leads series 2-1.

Goals:

TAM- none
BOS- David Krejci (7), Andrew Ference (2)

Notes:

Tim Thomas made 31 saves to shutout the Lightning after they scored 10 goals in the first two games of the series. It was the first time Tampa Bay had been shut out since Game 1 of their opening series against the Penguins and Thomas's first shutout of the 2011 playoffs... David Krejci now has as many goals this postseason as he did in his first three postseasons combined... Patrice Bergeron returned to the ice for the Bruins after missing the two opening games of the series with a concussion... Andrew Ference scored just 3 goals in 70 regular season games for the Bruins. Ference played 56 playoff games from 2004-2010 without scoring any goals... Each side had 3 power play opportunities, but both sides failed to capitalize... Tyler Seguin was finally held scoreless after scoring 3 goals in the first two games of the series... The series stays in Tampa Bay for Game 4 on Saturday afternoon before going back to Boston for Game 5 on Monday night.
