The Boston Burins series against the Tampa Bay Lightning turns to Tampa Bay for game three with the series tied at one game a piece. Game three goes down on Thursday at the St Pete Times Forum and both teams will be trying to go up a game in this hard-fought series. The Bruins are coming off perhaps the best game of the playoffs so far, a 6-5 victory over the Lightning at the TD Garden. The game was a coming out party for Bruins rookie Tyler Seguin, who scored four goals and had 2 assists in only his second post-season game. You sure got your money's worth if you had Bruins tickets for that game, as Seguin could be a vital part of the Bruins lineup for years to come.

Tyler Seguin scores 2 goals, 2 assists:

The Bruins were worried that Patrice Bergeron's concussion would hamper the Bruins' offense, but Seguin was able to step in and play spectacularly in Bergeron's place. Bruins coach Claude Julien has said Seguin will start regardless of Bergeron's health. "I'm going to tell you right now he's going to be in the lineup [Thursday]," Julien told ESPN. "That's for sure. You don't pull a guy like that out of your lineup that's been very good. He's earned it and he deserves to be in the lineup and that's what we want to see."

The TD Garden was completely sold-out as fans were buying Bruins tickets all day in hopes of seeing the Bruins get to the Stanley Cup. With the series now in Tampa Bay, demand for tickets is expected to be somewhat reduced. So if you're a Bruins fan in Florida, now might be the perfect time to buy playoff tickets and watch some Stanley Cup playoff action in person. Check the Bruins Lightning playoff ticket prices and see if you can get out to the Forum for a game or two. And if you are back in Boston, there are still tons of tickets for game Five and Seven to choose from, so take a look.

The Boston Bruins season continues against the Lighting as they try to secure the Eastern Conference Championship vs the Tampa Bay Lightning.
