In Boston, Trent Frederic achieved his third dual-goal game of the season, guiding the Boston Bruins to a win against the Tampa Bay Lightning at TD Garden on Saturday evening.
Filling in for the sidelined James van Riemsdyk, Frederic assumed a role in the second power-play unit and positioned himself by the net, seeking a deflection or a rebound. He scored during the Bruins' initial power-play opportunity, marking his first career power-play point, a fact of which he was fully aware.
Frederic humorously mentioned that this might be his final chance on the power-play and regretted not taking the puck as a significant keepsake. Alternating positions in the lineup, from wing to center and back, the 25-year-old forward has scored 12 goals in 38 games this season, along with nine assists, accumulating 21 points.
