Odd to see the opponent get more goals from ex-Lightning prospects than the Lightning, but that’s what happened with Howden and Marchessault combining for three goals in the opening frame. That First Period feels a bit like a Las Vegas flu situation, but perhaps best not to look too closely into that.
