Eastern Conference
Boston Bruins 3, Tampa Bay Lightning 5 -- The Boston Bruins seemed to be cruising to a 3-1 stranglehold on the Eastern Conference Finals with a quick 3-0 first period lead over Tampa Bay on Saturday night, but the Lightning weren't quite to give up on their Stanley Cup dreams.
Tampa scored five unanswered goals to take the game 5-3 and tie the series at two a piece. Mike Smith came in for an ineffective Dwayne Roloson in net and didn't allow another Bruin goal. Teddy Purcell scored two in a row in the second period and Sean Bergenheim and Simon Gagne scored to give the Lightning the lead. Martin St. Louis added an empty netter to finish off the scoring for Tampa Bay.
Series is tied, 2-2

Sami Salo scored twice, with Ryan Kesler also getting in on the act. Henrik Sedin finished the game with assists on all four of Vancouver's goals.
Canucks lead the series, 3-1
