Way too much drama at the end, but the Lightning win.

When you outshoot a team 44-19, it's not supposed to be this close. The Lightning had good intensity, but they need to tighten up on the mental lapses.
Dana Tyrell [10] was -1 with 2 shots in 14:25.
Michael Vernace [11] was -1 with 1 hit and 1 blocked shot in 5:45.
