KEY GAME INFORMATION
TAMPA BAY: LAST SEASON: 49-24-9, 107 points. Second in Central Division. Lost to San Jose Sharks in Western Conference finals.
COACH: Ken Hitchcock, sixth season with Blues (224-103-36) , 20th season overall (757-453-88-106).
ADDED: F David Perron, G Carter Hutton.
LOST: C David Backes, F Troy Brouwer, G Brian Elliott, F Steve Ott.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jake Allen. The Blues made the 26-year-old goalie their go-to guy in net after trading Brian Elliott to Calgary for a second-round draft pick. Allen went 26-15-3 with a 2.35 goals-against average, .920 save percentage and six shutouts in 47 games last season while splitting time with Elliott.
OUTLOOK: The Blues lost veteran forwards David Backes and Troy Brouwer in free agency but return plenty of firepower offensively, led by Vladimir Tarasenko, Alexander Steen and Paul Stastny. St. Louis still has one of the deepest groups of defenseman in the NHL with Alex Pietrangelo, now the team's captain, Jay Bouwmeester, Kevin Shattenkirk and youngster Colton Parayko.
BOSTON: LAST SEASON: 42-31-9, 93 points. Fourth in Atlantic Division. Failed to qualify for Stanley Cup Playoffs.
COACH: Claude Julien (10th season, 14th NHL season)
ADDED: F David Backes, F Riley Nash, F Dominic Moore, G Anton Khudobin.
LOST: F Loui Eriksson, G Jonas Gustavsson, D Dennis Seidenberg.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Brad Marchand. If the 37 goals Marchand scored for the Bruins last season wasn't enough to catch the attention of the entire NHL, he definitely alerted everyone to his status as an elite talent during the recent World Cup of Hockey. Playing for victorious Team Canada, Marchand led the tournament with five goals in six games. He also scored the game-winning short-handed goal in the third period of the decisive second game of the best-of-three finals against Team Europe. During the tournament, the Bruins made sure Marchand wouldn't be leaving as an unrestricted free agent next summer by signing him to an eight-year, $49 million contract. Marchand has matured at both ends of the ice and there's no telling how much more he could improve in the next few seasons.
OUTLOOK: The Bruins seem to be caught between rebuilding and contending as they come off two straight seasons without qualifying for the Stanley Cup playoffs by a combined three points. With Backes their only major addition during the offseason, the Bruins are banking on the continued improvement or some of their younger players and the emergence of a couple prospects to turn their fortunes around. Boston again looks like a bubble team that will be playing for its life right down to the final weekend of the season.
PREVIEW
Bruins host Lightning in important East contest

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning, who play each other at TD Garden on Thursday night, sustained losses Tuesday night that hurt their respective playoff chances.

And on Wednesday, while neither was on the ice, more bad news hit both teams.

Victories by the Toronto Maple Leafs and New York Islanders added to the woes of the teams that bring three-game losing streaks into Thursday's contest.

Toronto's victory at Columbus moved the feisty young Maple Leafs past the Bruins into third place in the Atlantic Division, still with a game in hand on Boston.

The Islanders' win over the rival New York Rangers moved them within two points of the Bruins in the battle for the last Eastern Conference wild card, also with a game in hand. Boston and the Islanders play in Brooklyn on Saturday night.

Tampa Bay remained five points out of the final wild-card spot.

The Lightning, sellers at the trade deadline, clawed their way back into the playoff picture with a four-game winning streak while prevailing in six of their first eight March contests. But they lost their last three -- all at home, allowing 15 goals in the three games, including a 5-3 setback to the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night.

Tampa Bay gave up three goals to the Coyotes in the third period.

"This ranks up there, though with how important the game was to us, a 3-2 lead at home going into the third in a must-win game for us," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "To give it up like we did, it's ... yeah ... it's frustrating to say the least."

Said defenseman Victor Hedman: "It's back to the drawing board. Just remember there's still a lot of games left. We obviously are disappointed in the result. We can't lay down. We can't fold. We just have to refocus."

The Bruins outplayed the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday but fell victim to great goaltending by Craig Anderson. They dipped to 5-5 in their last 10 games and are 12-6 in 18 contests under interim coach Bruce Cassidy.

Boston is trying to end two years of frustration that saw the Bruins barely miss the playoffs both seasons.

"Every year writes its own story," Cassidy said. "There's a lot of guys in that room that weren't here last year, including myself. So we'd like to write our own story.

"Clearly the last two games (Monday in Toronto, Tuesday at home) were important games for us and I thought we played very well. We had some break downs. I don't think I'm going to wake up tomorrow and see us eliminated, so we're going to go back to work on Thursday against Tampa."

The Bruins have won all three games against the Lightning this season, one in a shootout. Tuukka Rask won all three games in the Boston goal and is 12-5-1 with a 2.60 goals against average, .904 save percentage and three shutouts lifetime against Tampa Bay.

Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy played only one game against the Bruins in his young career. Back on Nov. 3, he stopped 28 of 31 shots before losing a 10-round shootout to the Bruins and Rask, who improved to 6-0 to start the season.

Boston winger Jimmy Hayes, who scored the shootout winner, has only two goals in 54 games this season.
