Brayden Point was the game’s third star.
The rusty Lightning gave up two early goals and a 24-10 shot disparity in the opening 20 minutes of the game. They recovered for a very competitive final 40 minutes and had their chances but couldn’t find the equalizer at the end. All told, this could’ve been a clear cut schedule loss so I’m not super upset about the outcome.
Darren Raddysh was +1 with 1 hit and 2 blocked shots in 10:43.
Cal Foote was -1 with 1 hit and 2 blocked shots in 11:29.
