TAMPA, Fla. — The Lightning couldn’t say they didn’t have their chances Tuesday night against the Ottawa Senators.
Tampa Bay had more than 16 minutes of power-play time and more than doubled Ottawa’s shots on goal. The Lightning spent most of the night frustrated that they couldn’t make good on numerous opportunities.
Their mistakes were glaring, from the turnover that led to former Tampa Bay forward Mathieu Joseph’s short-handed goal on a 5-on-3 Lightning power play to a rare Andrei Vasilevskiy turnover that led to the Senators’ go-ahead goal in the third period.
