Lightning nick a point thanks to JoJo. TB-2BUF-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. First Period8:57 BUF Girgensons (1), (Jost, Samuelsson)15:28 BUF Skinner (1), (Power, Tuch) … Read more
Lightning still struggling to calibrate. TB-2OTT-5 Matt Tomkins allowed four goals on 37 shots for the loss. Strongly suspect the northern hockey media will look at these last two results and blame the goaltending, but that’s not where the problem lies.

Lightning’s new defensive system still needs the kinks worked out. TB-4DET-6 Jonas Johansson allowed five goals on 41 shots for the loss. I’m not gonna throw this at Jonas’ feet when the guy had to stave off multiple 2-on-0’s. The Lightning puck management and defensive coverage was, at times, abysmal.

The new normal. NSH-3TB-5 Jonas Johansson allowed 3 goals on 31 shots for the victory. I wasn’t overly bothered by any of the three he allowed and that’s pretty much the effort the Lightning need out of JoJo as they try to get through this interval with Vasilevskiy on the shelf.
