The Boston Bruins<\/a> suffered a 3-1 road loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday in a disappointing performance.<\/p>\n

Boston led 1-0 after the second period, as Casey Mittelstadt scored midway through the second. Entering the third period, the Bruins fell flat-footed as Tampa Bay scored just 2:13 into the period, before Darren Raddysh scored with just over five minutes to go. The Lightning added an empty-netter to secure the win, which was a disappointing loss for the Bruins.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t like the first few minutes,\u201d Sturm said as seen on NESN\u2019s postgame coverage on Saturday about the loss. \u201cWe gave up two odd-man rushes. … We played a pretty good game, we really did.<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple of bad bounces. We didn’t get the puck in on the second one and all of sudden a good team like that, they take advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the loss, the Bruins also went 0-for-4 on the power play and Sturm knows that\u2019s the difference between winning and losing hockey games.<\/p>\n

“We had a few chances, even in the first, but I also thought the power play needed to step up,\u201d Sturm said. \u201cIt didn’t really give us a whole lot of grade-A chances.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were fine, though. We were still good enough today. But those little details, they matter, and those details have been hurting us for two games in a row.”<\/p>\n

With the loss, Boston fell to 43-26-8 and remains in the top wild card spot. The Bruins will return to the ice on Sunday on the road against the Philadelphia Flyers.<\/p>\n
