With bad blood spilling all over the Garden between two teams that played a week ago, the Bruins sprinted to a 4-0 second-period lead and hung on for a 6-2 victory against divisional rival Tampa Bay.

David Pastrnak had a goal and two assists and Parker Wotherspoon scored his first NHL goal to help the Boston Bruins open a four-goal lead and hold on to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-2. Jeremy Swayman made 43 saves for the Bruins.

The Lightning played without their leading goal-scorer, top center Brayden Point, who was scratched for missing a team meeting prior to the morning skate. It forced the team to scramble just to get enough players to fill its roster, recalling 22-year-old forward Jack Finley from AHL Syracuse to make his NHL debut as the 12th forward.

A three-point night from David Pastrnak and a locked-in night from Jeremy Swayman helped propel the Boston Bruins to a 6-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning Tuesday night at the TD Garden. Parker Wotherspoon also netted his first NHL goal in the win while Swayman made 43 saves It was the Bruins’ second straight win and the second consecutive game where they gave up more than 40 shots.

Two Bruins scored their first goals of the season as Boston jumped out to a big lead early and tacked on two short-handed, empty-net goals late to pull away for a big division win. Parker Wotherspoon scored the first goal of his career early and Andrew Peeke notched his first as a Bruin late in the 6-2 win Thursday at TD Garden.
