The shot totals tell the tale as the Lightning again got outworked by the Pens to the tune of a 40-21 disparity. We can talk about the officials, but at the end of the day the Lightning work rate needs to be better against those guys. Man for man they’re not as talented as Tampa Bay, but they do know their roles and play hard.
