For one night anyone, it felt like old times on Causeway. With bad blood spilling all over TD Garden between two teams that played a week ago, the Boston Bruins sprinted to a 4-0 second period lead and hung on for a 6-2 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Trent Frederic gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead at 4:24 of the first period. Matthew Poitras skated in on a 2-on-1, showed patience with the puck by waiting out a sliding Nick Perbix, and sent a pass to Frederic for a tap-in at the right post.

Jeremy Swayman made the difference in the Bruins ending their six-game losing streak over the weekend with his 40 saves against the Panthers.
