Boston Bruins take a commanding 3-1 lead in their second-round series Saturday

Boston Bruins right wing Ondrej Kase shoots wide of Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy during the third period in game four of the second round of the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Scotiabank Arena.Ondrej Palat scored twice, Andrei Vasilevskiy made 29 saves, and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Boston Bruins 3-1 Saturday to take a commanding 3-1 lead in their second-round series.

Victor Hedman also scored a pinball, bouncing goal on Boston goaltender Jaroslav Halak, who has started every game since starter Tuukka Rask opted out of the playoffs in the middle of the first round. Halak, who was pulled last time out Wednesday, allowed three goals on 26 shots in Game 4. Tampa Bay has won three in a row since losing the series opener. Palat has four goals in that time, including the Game 2 overtime winner.The Lightning have used their depth to take over the series and have the chance Monday to move on to the Eastern Conference final for the second time in three years. The Bruins are one loss away from a disappointing early exit after a trip to the 2019 Stanley Cup Final.

The biggest impact for the rest of the series could be a big, late hit by Boston’s Nick Ritchie on Tampa Bay’s Yanni Gourde in the second period. With the Lightning up 2-0, Ritchie appeared to hit Gourde from behind a few feet away from the boards, and Gourde went left shoulder first into the boards.

Ritchie was given a 5-minute major penalty that Hedman scored on and could face suspension. Gourde returned in the third period, as Boston got a power-play goal from Jake DeBrusk to end the shutout but couldn’t come back from a 3-0 deficit.
