BOSTON (Ticker) - The Boston Bruins return from a five-game road trip to begin the season when they host the Tampa Bay Lightning in their home opener on Thursday.

Boston won the last two games of their West Coast trip, including a 2-1 victory over San Jose on Saturday.

Goaltender Manny Fernandez has struggled in his first season with the Bruins, posting a 1-1 record with a 5.01 goals-against average. Tim Thomas has won two of his three starts and given up just four goals in those games.

Marc Savard leads the Bruins with six assists and seven points, while Patrice Bergeron, Chuck Kobasew and Phil Kessel have each scored three goals.

Tampa Bay won its first three games of the season before suffering a 6-4 loss at Florida on Saturday.

Vaclav Prospal leads the team with five goals, while Vincent Lecavalier has three goals and three assists.

Starting goaltender Johan Holmqvist is 3-0 with a 2.38 goals-against average this season, but is 0-1 with a 4.77 GAA against Boston in his career.

The Bruins have won eight of their last nine meetings with the Lightning, including a 4-0 record against Tampa Bay last season.
