Lightning's Ondrej Palat: Quite helpful in win over Bruins

Palat racked up three assists along with a plus-2 rating and two PIM in Thursday's 6-3 win over Boston.

Analysis:

His point powered a huge win for the Bolts, who now trail Boston by three points for the final wild-card spot. All three helpers were of the primary variety, although the last one came on an empty-netter as Nikita Kucherov finished off his hat trick. Palat has been rolling of late, racking up a goal and eight assists in his last eight contests, with eight PIM to boot.
