Storylines: The Bruins beat the Lightning in their early matchup in Tampa, 4-2. In the win, Claude Julien matched Zdeno Chara against Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis instead of Steven Stamoks… The Bruins have yet to score a power-play goal at home (0 for 26)… This is the first game in a back-to-back set. The Bruins host the Canadiens tomorrow night. This will be Montreal’s first visit to Boston. Tuukka Rask should start against the Canadiens… Ghislain Hebert and Eric Furlatt will be the referees. Matt MacPherson and Greg Devorski will be the linesmen.
