Well. To their credit, the Tampa Bay Lightning didn’t get down 3-0 to the Carolina Hurricanes as they had in their previous two meetings. Instead, they were down 2-0. Just as they did in the other two games, the Lightning battled back to tie the game, unfortunately, it was Jordan Martinhook’s shot from a bad angle in the third period that glanced off of Victor Hedman and past Andrei Vasilevskiy that proved to be the difference as Carolina went on to win 4-2.
Yanni Gourde and Charle-Edouard D’Astous scored 1:21 apart in the second period to get the Lightning back into the game, but that was pretty much it for a Lightning offense that generated just 38 shot attempts on the night.
