A series of errors from the Lightning made Tuesday night’s game against the Devils look like it would be a repeat performance of Thursday’s one-goal loss at Colorado.
Turnovers, poor puck possession and avoidable penalties put Tampa Bay in a two-goal deficit at the start of the second period in New Jersey.
But some line switches and quick scoring helped get the Lightning back on track at the end of the period, resulting in a 6-3 win in the teams’ final meeting of the regular season (the Lightning finished 2-1 against the Devils).
