Rudolph received a pass from Pat Maroon in the fifth minute of the third period and beat Boston goalkeeper Linus Ullmark with an accurate shot past the right post.
Balcers played for 11 minutes and 51 seconds and made three shots on goal and created several dangerous moments for his teammates at the goal.
Together, this is Rudolph’s third goal in the NHL season – the first two were scored as part of the Florida Panthers.
After the game, the Latvian hockey player Balcer was highlighted not only in the nets, but also by the head coach of the “Lightning” team, John Cooper.
