The Boston Bruins will attempt to halt a five-game losing skid as they visit the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday at Amalie Arena. The Bruins have yet to taste a win this new year after dropping the first five games of 2025. Boston’s defense has been miserable in the past three games, conceding 15 goals or a whooping 5 goals a game. David Pastrnak, who has already accumulated 42 points this season, did not contribute anything in the Bruins’ 0-4 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. The Lightning snapped a four-game skid with a 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on January 7. Brayden Point scored a tiebreaking goal with barely minute left in regulation to notch a win for Tampa Bay, who improved to 21-14-2 (fourth in the Atlantic Division standings).
