Steven Stamkos, Corey Perry, and Ross Colton were the game’s three stars.
Tough, physical, playoff-style tile with some very loose and very permissive officiating. The Lightning proved again they can win that style of game manufacturing three greasy goals on their way to the victory.
Nick Perbix had 1 shot, 2 hits, and 3 blocked shots in 11:41. It’s a shame he took the knock a few games back, because he was really coming on offensively before he got hurt and he looked a little rusty and off in this game. Hopefully with reps he gets back on track. He’s entered the home stretch of his prospect career, now just five appearances this season from graduating from prospect status on the site.
