Lightning fall to fourth in Atlantic with third straight loss

Turnovers and penalties proved too costly once again for the Lightning in a 4-3 loss in Washington on Wednesday night.

It’s the fifth three-game losing streak of the season for Tampa Bay. The Lightning finished 2-1 in the regular-season series against Washington.

With the loss, the Lightning (43-20-7) drop to fourth in the Atlantic Division with 93 points behind Boston (44-21-5). The Bruins also have 93 points but hold the tiebreaker with more regulation wins. Florida (49-15-6) leads the division with 104 points, having clinched a postseason spot on Sunday, and Toronto (45-19-6) is second at 96.
