TAMPA — After falling behind by two goals midway through the second period Sunday night against the Winnipeg Jets, the Lightning had several opportunities to even the score.
A potential game-tying goal rang off the post twice, but Tampa Bay kept the pressure on throughout.
After Anthony Cirelli’s shorthanded goal cut the Jets’ lead to one, the Lightning couldn’t convert a 63-second 5-on-3 power play. They were close. Brayden Point’s backhand attempt from the slot hit the post with the two-man advantage, and the Lightning were unable to capitalize on the remaining 5-on-4.
