TIM Thomas made 31 saves for his first playoff shutout this season and second overall as the Boston Bruins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-0 in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday.
Rookie Tyler Seguin scored his fourth goal in the last three games of the series that the Bruins lead 2-1.
Thomas, the favorite to win the Vezina Trophy as the top regular-season goalie, gave up nine goals in the first two games.
Seguin made it 2-0 from in-close at 8:12 of the third as the puck trickled between the legs of Lightning goalie Dwayne Roloson and into the net. After sitting out the Bruins' first two playoff rounds, the 19-year-old Seguin was inserted into the lineup to replace an injured Patrice Bergeron in Game 1 and has seven points overall.
David Krejci also scored for the Bruins.
Game 4 is tonight in Tampa.
Bergeron was back in the lineup after missing two games because of a concussion sustained when he was hit by Philadelphia's Claude Giroux in the final game of the second round.
Krejci was alone in the low slot and opened the scoring on a backhander just 1:09 into the first. Boston is 7-0 during the postseason when scoring the first goal of the game.
Krejci was briefly shaken up late in the first when he was hit in the neutral zone by Tampa Bay defenseman Marc-Andre Bergeron, who received a minor penalty for elbowing. Both teams were looking to play tighter defense after combining for 18 goals in the first two games.
Tampa Bay center Steven Stamkos said before the game that the Lightning wanted to avoid "run and gun hockey." Boston center Brad Marchand added that both teams hoped to "buckle down" on defense.
Stamkos had three shot as the Lightning outshot Boston 10-8 during the first.
