TAMPA, Fla. — The Lightning allowed a pair of goals to the league’s second-best power-play unit and yielded another unsightly short-handed goal, falling 3-2 to the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night at Amalie Arena.
Tampa Bay was frustrated by their special teams — their inability to stop the Oilers’ power play and their own ineptitude with the man advantage — in a loss that snapped their five-game point streak.
The Lightning (7-5-1) nearly orchestrated another third-period rally from two goals down, but had a tying goal negated with eight minutes left.
