BOSTON — With the Lightning’s top scorers going through their longest goal-scoring droughts of the season, they knew getting back to basics could help get them out of their recent funk.
You can’t score without the puck on your stick. So going into their game Thursday night at Boston, the Lightning wanted to focus on establishing zone time.
For much of the night at TD Garden, the Lightning weren’t able to do that, chasing the puck through their own zone and putting pressure on goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy.
