With bad blood spilling all over the Garden between two teams that played a week ago, the Bruins sprinted to a 4-0 second-period lead and hung on for a 6-2 victory against divisional rival Tampa Bay.

The Lightning -- who are 3-0-1 in their last four following a four-game skid -- began the head-to-head season series with a 4-1 Thursday win in Tampa, moving them in front of the Bruins by two points in the Atlantic Division standings with four games still in hand.

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

Coach Jon Cooper told media postgame that slow starts plagued his team throughout the three-game road trip that ended Tuesday—Tampa Bay trailed in all three games against the New Jersey Devils, Pittsburgh Penguins and Bruins despite finishing the trip with a 1-1-1 record.

Radek Faksa scored the game-winning goal as the St. Louis Blues edged the visiting Calgary Flames 2-1 Tuesday night.
