Even though a recent report saying the Boston Bruins are an un-unified team was already deemed baseless, Trent Frederic completely dispelled it with just a few punches.

Bruins forward Trent Frederic avenged Mark Kastelic on Tuesday by scrapping with the Tampa player who injured him, Emil Lilleberg.

David Pastrnak had a goal and two assists and Parker Wotherspoon scored his first NHL goal to help the Boston Bruins open a four-goal lead and hold on to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-2.

The Lightning played without their leading goal-scorer, top center Brayden Point, who was scratched for missing a team meeting prior to the morning skate. It forced the team to scramble just to get enough players to fill its roster, recalling 22-year-old forward Jack Finley from AHL Syracuse to make his NHL debut as the 12th forward.

Boston Bruins forward Mark Kastelic suffered an upper-body injury during the club's Jan. 9 contest against the Tampa Bay Lightning and has not played since. This was after he was cross-checked in the head by Lightning defenseman Emil Lilleberg. Kastelic also dropped the gloves with him following it.

BOS 2, TBL 0 9:30 Parker Wotherspoon (1) - David Pastrnak, Pavel Zacha Boston doubled its lead on defenseman Parker Wotherspoon’s first NHL goal. Boston forward David Pastrnak took the puck to the right faceoff circle before feeding the defenseman at the left circle, where the latter scored on his shot.

Under duress from Charlie Coyle, Victor Hedman lost the puck just inside his left point position and Poitras pounced on it, bursting up ice on a 2-on-1. He smartly waited out Nick Perbix’s belly-flop slide and made a pretty pass around the defenseman’s skates to Trent Frederic for a redirection at 4:24, Frederic’s seventh of the year.

The Bruins' lineup will look much different against the Lightning. The Boston Bruins are back on the ice tonight to face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning. They will aim to build off their hard-fought overtime win against the Florida Panthers over the weekend.

Victor Hedman had a goal and an assist, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 18 saves for the Lightning (23-16-3), who had their four-game point streak end (3-0-1). Brayden Point was a healthy scratch after he missed a team meeting.

BOTTOM LINE: The Tampa Bay Lightning take on the Toronto Maple Leafs in a matchup within the Atlantic Division Monday. Toronto is 29-16-2 overall with a 10-4-1 record against the Atlantic Division. The Maple Leafs have gone 12-5-1 in games they convert at least one power play.

Kastelic certainly made some noise in his return, as the Bruins tough guy dropped the gloves with former Senators teammate Zack Ostapchuk. Ostapchuk had a solid start to the fight and landed some punches on Kastelic. However, Kastelic bounced back as the scrap continued and threw several hard rights before landing the takedown.
