The Lightning actually outshot the Kings 34-21 in the game and controlled the vast majority of play, but they didn’t bear down on their chances and a couple of key mistakes ended up in the back of the net. Los Angeles is a very good team and this was a good measuring stick. I’m not altogether unpleased with how the team played, but they’re falling behind schedule in the standings right now.
Conor Geekie had 1 shot and 3 hits in 11:43.
Mitchell Chaffee was -1 with 1 shot, 4 hits, and 2 blocked shots in 15:39.
Emil Lilleberg was -2 with 1 shot, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 13:45.
