(TSN):Vincent Lecavalier displayed his scoring touch and toughness, and helped the Lightning end a long slide.
Lecavalier had two goals and an assist as the Lightning snapped a six-game skid with a 4-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Saturday night.
"It's definitely a confidence-booster," Lecavalier said. "You could feel right from the beginning we played very well."
Lecavalier was sporting a large welt on his right cheek after the game, the result of being hit by a tipped puck in the second.
"It feels all right," Lecavalier said. "First time I ever got a puck that hard in the face. It doesn't feel too good."
Lecavalier's first goal of the game was his 250th in the NHL, coming in his 655th game. He has 16 goals and 39 points in 34 games against Boston.
"There's no question he's the best player in the game right now up to this point," Boston centre Marc Savard said. "He's a tough guy to contain when he's skating."
Mathieu Darche and Martin St. Louis had the other goals for Tampa Bay.
Glen Murray scored for Boston, which lost for the second time in six games.
