Lightning nick a point thanks to JoJo.
TB-2
BUF-3 (OT)
Jonas Johansson allowed three goals on 31 shots for the OT loss. 27/29 in regulation… with all due respect that should be a win if he gets proper goal support. He deserved better tonight.

Like the game against Ottawa, it was better, but still not great. The Lightning have continued to tighten up defensively, but offensively they look painfully anemic. Just looks like a lack of energy and a lack of ideas on that end of the rink right now.
Good Lord, Sheary, that defensive effort on the OT losing goal? Feel shame, man.
Alex Barre-Boulet had 2 penalty minutes and 1 shot in 16:57. He didn’t look out of place on the top line in Stamkos’ place. I thought he had a nice game.
Waltteri Merala played 5:49. He might’ve lost his job to ABB tonight.
