Jonas Johansson allowed four goals on 29 shots for the loss. Two soft goals, but when you only give the guy one goal of support it isn’t the goaltending.

Role reversal of the Penguins game, really. The Lightning waiting until they were down 3-1 in this game before they picked up their skating and by then the mountain was too high to climb going up against a goaltender like Saros. Maybe this was a bit of a schedule loss, granted, but the team can’t afford to come back from this road trip without getting some results and tonight was not a good omen.
Alex Barre Boulet had a goal, 2 penalty minutes, and was -1 with 3 shots in 12:40. He might’ve been the Lightning’s best player in this game. Good for ABB, but on balance bad for the Lightning.
Darren Raddysh had 1 shot and 1 blocked shot in 14:44. Seems the Lightning have dialed down his average IT a bit recently.
