A point of emphasis for the Tampa Bay Lightning heading into their matchup with the Boston Bruins on Saturday was getting out to an early lead.

It's something the Lightning have struggled to do for most of the season, but that wasn't the case Saturday. Nikita Kucherov gave Tampa Bay an early 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at the 7:51 mark.

Hear NESN's Billy Jaffe and Dale Arnold break down the goal in the video above.
