Nick Paul, Luke Glendening, and Jake Guentzel were the game’s three stars.
With one game left to play in the third segment of the season the Lightning have already collected their 36th point to assure minimum playoff pacing. They’ll go for insurance points next time out.
Conor Geekie was -1 with 4 penalty minutes, 2 shots, and 1 hit in 10:07 after being embroiled in an unfortunate accidental knee to knee collision taking out a Blue Jackets forward.
Mitchell Chaffee had a goal and was +1 with 2 shots and 1 hit in 13:27.
Emil Lilleberg had a helper and was +2 with 2 shots, 2 hits, and 2 blocked shots in 19:16. Seems he may have turned a corner on that western roadie.
Gage Goncalves was +1 with 1 blocked shot in 11:55.
