03/27 21:21 CDT Brayden Point scores, Andrei Vasilevskiy stops 23 and the surging Lightning beat the Bruins 3-1 Brayden Point scores, Andrei Vasilevskiy stops 23 and the surging Lightning beat the Bruins 3-1 By MARK DIDTLER Associated Press TAMPA, Fla. (AP) --- Brayden Point scored his 42nd goal of the season to break a second-period tie, Andrei Vasilevskiy made 23 saves, and the surging Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Atlantic Division-leading Boston Bruins 3-1 on Wednesday night. Tampa Bay also got goals from Mitchell Chaffee and Nikita Kucherov as the Lightning improved to 7-0-1 over their last eight games. The Lightning moved within two points of third-place Toronto in the Atlantic Division. Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman and Point both returned after missing one game with lower-body injuries. Linus Ullmark stopped 28 shots, and Danton Heinen scored for the Bruins. Boston was coming off a 4-3 win Tuesday night at Florida. Point put the Lightning up 2-1 on a wraparound 6:50 into the second. The center has 10 goals over his last seven games. Kucherov took over the NHL points lead with 124 on an empty-net goal with 27 seconds left. Vasilevskiy won his 290th game to tie Ed Giacomin for 46th place on the career list. Tampa Bay appeared to go up 3-1 on what would have given Steven Stamkos his ninth 30-goal season at 5:44 of the third, but a video review found the play was offside. UP NEXT Bruins: Play the fourth of a six-game trip Saturday night at Washington. Lightning: Host the New York Islanders on Saturday night. ___ AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl
