TAMPA, Fla. — With the postseason on the horizon, the Lightning have bought into the formula that games are won by stopping goals more than by scoring them.
After their third straight stellar defensive outing in Thursday’s 5-1 win over the Capitals at Amalie Arena, they’re seeing the fruits of their labor.
They’ve allowed a combined three goals over their past three games, and the one scored by Washington was more of a bad bounce than a defensive lapse.
