The Tampa Bay Lightning are looking to overcome a resurgent Tim Thomas and even up the Eastern Conference finals.
Tampa Bay trails Boston 2-1 heading into Game 4 on Saturday, thanks in part to a strong rebound effort by Thomas. The Bruins' goalie stopped all 31 shots he faced in a 2-0 victory on Thursday night.
"We need to step up our game another notch," Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman said.
Thomas, the favorite to win the Vezina Trophy as the top regular-season goalie because of a 2.00 goal-against-average, had given up nine goals through the first two games against the Lightning.
But Thomas and the Boston defense, which allowed an Eastern Conference low 195 goals during the regular season, returned to form.
"He'll give credit to the people in front of him," Boston coach Claude Julien said. "I think that's very deserving. But when they had some great opportunities, he was also there to make the big saves. He's been a great goaltender."
