Benoit Pouliot made his Bruins' debut last night while Jordan Caron took a seat in the press box in the latest segment of the battle for a spot on Boston's third line. Pouliot only saw 7:30 of ice time, but on his first shift, he laid a good hit on Lightning defenseman Brett Clark. He also had two shots that were good scoring chances. "Everybody seemed to like him tonight for the amount of ice he got," said coach Claude Julien. "I thought his energy was good, he competed hard, he made some good things happen, and I like the direction he took tonight. He's certainly continuing to show us that as he gets more comfortable, he seems to be bringing a little bit more. We all seemed to be happy with his game."
