Bruins’ Dougie Hamilton learning the little things

SUNRISE, Fla. — On Thursday at Tampa Bay Times Forum, Dougie Hamilton recorded two assists in the Bruins’ 4-2 win over the Lightning. He leads all Boston defensemen with 8 points.

But Hamilton played only 10:00, including only 2:08 in the third period, when the coaching staff played mostly five defensemen against the Lightning’s high-powered attack.
