As I’ve said many times over the years, this sport can be one of the most frustrating in the world when you seemingly have to work twice or three times as hard as your opponent to score a goal. The Lightning outshot Chicago 35-21 in this game and continue to struggle to get results. Differentials in goaltending performance and puck luck can even the playing surface and be annoyingly humbling.
Declan Carlile was +1 with 2 shots and 2 hits in 14:33 with Emil Lilleberg out suspended.
Gage Goncalves had 2 shots in 12:12.
