A new opponent wasn't able to slow down Boston's top guns in Game 1.
The Bruins stormed into Tampa Bay and beat the Lightning 6-2, with the trio of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, and David Pastrnak leading the way once again with a combined 11 points.
- Marchand: 1 goal, 3 assists
- Pastrnak: 4 assists
- Bergeron: 2 goals, 1 assist
The Bruins did get a pair of goals from Rick Nash, but this top line is clearly the key to any further success achieved in the playoffs.

In wins (five games): 12 goals and 41 points.
In losses (three games): Zero goals and zero points.
Pastrnak's four points put him first among all players this postseason, now one ahead of Pittsburgh's Jake Guentzel and two ahead of Sidney Crosby. Marchand's now up to fourth, while Bergeron ranks fifth.
