TAMPA, Fla. — For two periods Saturday night, the Lightning couldn’t put the puck anywhere close to the net. The Golden Knights had created a blueprint to containing Tampa Bay’s dangerous offensive attack.
But in that “find-a-way” style the Lightning have assumed all season long, especially in the past month, they orchestrated another late comeback to salvage points from a game in which they probably didn’t deserve any.
After falling into a two-goal deficit and being held to just nine shots through the first two periods, the Lightning scored twice in the final seven minutes of regulation, sending the game to a scoreless back-and-forth 3-on-3 overtime.
