8 a.m. ET: The Bruins are scheduled to play the Lightning on Thursday night, and this time around, there’s no chance this one is being snowed out.
The B’s are in southern Florida to take on the Lightning to start a two-game swing through the Sunshine State in a rematch of the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals. This will be the first meeting of the two teams, after the first scheduled meeting, set for Feb. 9, was postponed when a blizzard ripped through Boston and all of New England.
For the Bruins, it’s probably a much-welcomed return to the ice. Boston had the day off Monday and several members of the club missed practice Tuesday with flu-like symptoms. However, Boston had full attendance for Wednesday’s practice at the Tampa Bay Times Forum, and they should be good to go on Thursday night.
The Lightning have experienced an up-and-down season, but it’s one that currently finds them near the top of the Southeast Division. Once again, the Tampa Bay offense is a dynamic one, with the Bol...

Any time teams around the league take on the Tampa Bay Lightning, coaches continue to ask the same question.
“How do we stop Steven Stamkos?”
The Tampa left winger led the NHL in goals last season when he put in 60 total goals throughout the year, which won him the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy. Stamkos’ early-season success this year has put him right back into the running...
