NHL Eastern Conference Finals - Game 4

TAMPA BAY 5 BOSTON 3 - Series tied 2-2.

Goals:

TAM-Teddy Purcell 2 (4), Sean Bergenheim (9), Simon Gagne (4), Martin St. Louis (8)
BOS- Patrice Bergeron 2 (4), Michael Ryder (5)

Notes:

Boston opened up a 3-0 lead in the first period leading to Dwayne Roloson getting benched for the second time in three games. Mike Smith replaced him and stopped all 21 shots he faced as Tampa Bay pulled off the come-from-behind win. Smith has now appeared twice against the Bruins this series and stopped all 29 shots he's faced... Patrice Bergeron's 4th goal tied his career playoff high set last season... Teddy Purcell's two goals came 63 seconds apart in the 2nd period. Purcell is playing in his first postseason in his 5th year in the NHL... Sean Bergenheim's was his league leading 9th of the postseason. Bergenheim scored just 14 goals during the regular season... The Lightning have scored 5 goals in a game three times in this series... Simon Gagne's game winner was the 36th goal of his playoff career. He scored 9 in last year's playoffs for the Flyers. Gagne also added a pair of assists... Martin St. Louis' empty netter in the third period was the 31st goal of his playoff career. He is one short of tying his career high set in 2004 when the Lightning won the Stanley Cup... The series returns to Boston for Game 5 on Monday night.
