Like a great prize fighter, the Lightning continue to summon up the will to fight past any adversity.
NJ-1
TB-3
Marc Denis made 34 stops for the win. Martin St. Louis [5] broke his goal scoring slump with a pair of talleys with the other Lightning goal going to the suddenly hot Jason Ward [6]. Brad Richards [7], Nolan Pratt, Eric Perrin [8], Vincent Lecavalier [9] and Cory Sarich all had assists.
The win coupled with Atlanta's loss to San Jose moves the Lightning back to within 2 points of first place in the division. And, with one head-to-head matchup on the schedule, the team's division title destiny is back within its hands. Huge win tonight.
