Tampa, Fla. -- Martin St. Louis scored twice in the third period Tuesday, delivering the Tampa Bay Lightning a 3-1 victory over Vancouver.

Tampa Bay got its other goal from Steven Stamkos, who also picked up an assist.

Goalie Antero Niittymaki registered 39 saves as the Bolts won their fourth straight game and seventh in nine tries.

St. Louis's first goal -- an unassisted, short-handed tally -- put the Lightning up 2-1 at the 2:52 mark of the final frame. He then scored an insurance goal on a feed from Stamkos with 4:20 left.

Ryan Kesler lit the lamp for the Canucks, who lost three of their first five games on a 14-game road trip.

The Canucks' Roberto Luongo allowed three goals on just 19 shots.

"A unique event deserves a unique venue, and we are delighted the Bruins and Flyers will renew their rivalry with the 'Green Monster' providing the backdrop," Bettman said at news conference. "We welcome our fans, our teams, our sponsors and the great city of Boston to this annual celebration of our sport. In a very short time, the Winter Classic has become a hallmark of the NHL season."
