Nikita Kucherov was the game’s third star.
It’s been this way for the past two seasons. Sometimes the worst thing for the Lightning is to get a quick multi-goal lead because they take their foot off the gas and get run out of the barn the rest of the game. It’s a shocking display on immaturity from a veteran club.
Mikey Eyssimont had 2 shots and 2 hits in 8:51.
Darren Raddysh had 3 shots and 1 blocked shot in 17:33. Big minutes.
