Lightning’s point streak comes to emphatic end with 8-5 loss to Blue Jackets
Here it is. The tape of tonight’s game. Go ahead and burn it. Could we spend the next two-thousand words picking out everything that went wrong tonight? Sure, but it would probably take more than two…

Prior to the game, the Lightning reassigned Scott Sabourin to the Crunch. Curtis Douglas' conditioning stint is almost over, so we could see him recalled soon.

Lightning keep the road points rolling with 2-1 shootout win over Chicago
There weren’t many who expected this game to be as close as it was, but the Chicago Blackhawks took everything the Tampa Bay Lightning could throw at them for most of the night. In the end…

Dickinson with the cross-check. Lightning had the 'Hawks chasing the play a little and it led to the penalty. Be a good time to capitalize.

The Lightning are doing a lot of really good things with the grand exception of not scoring a goal. Can't let frustration set in. Keep the pressure on, keep those long shifts in the Chicago zone and wear them down.
