TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Patrice Bergeron got his 1,000th career point with a second-period assist and the Boston Bruins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-3 for their seventh straight win. Bergeron became the fourth Boston player and 94th in NHL history to reach the milestone with the second assist on Brad Marchand’s goal at 15:08 that gave the Bruins a 4-1 lead. David Krejci, Nick Foligno, Charlie Coyle and David Pastrnak also scored for the Bruins. Boston needs two wins to match the 1929-30 Bruins squad that started the season a franchise-best 19-2. Tampa Bay’s Nick Paul had two goals.
