I’m sure not sad to not have to see Kaprizov again this regular season. He just seems to feast on the Lightning. Tough to drop points on the road when you were in a tied position twice in the Third Period and even tougher when the go ahead goal was on kind of a lucky bounce off the end boards. The silver lining was the dormant PP struck a couple of times, but that made the lack of finishing at evens sting just a bit more. The Lightning played pretty well in both their games against Minnesota and didn’t get the payoff in either.
Conor Geekie had 2 penalty minutes and 2 shots in 13:22.
Mitchell Chaffee had 1 hit in 9:17.
Emil Lilleberg was -1 with 1 shot and 1 hit in 13:01.
