TAMPA, Fla. — Closing their six-game homestand Thursday night against a Blue Jackets squad with the fewest points in the Eastern Conference, the Lightning had to be careful not to be lulled into a letdown game.
Any team can beat another on any given night in the NHL, but a Columbus team decimated by injuries had little margin for error against Tampa Bay.
Still, the Lightning went into the third period with the game tied and having to fight for two points before pulling away for a 4-1 win.
