This time, the Lightning power play contains some power

in Sports/Top Headlines by

This time, there was power to power play. This time, the goal was plenty wide enough. This time, the Lightning took advantage of its opportunities. It’s amazing the difference one game can make. In its previous loss to Vancouver, the Tampa Bay Lightning was one-for-10 on its power play. Against Columbus, however, Tampa Bay scored on three of eight chances in a 5-2 win. Captain Steven Stamkos scored two power-play goals in a 32-second span in the second period to…

Lightning loses, 2-1, to Vancouver despite its advantages

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Talk about an advantage. The Tampa Bay Lightning held all the cards Thursday night. How they lost in head-shaking fashion is going to stick with them for a while. The Lightning were on a bit of hot streak, winning three of four and playing at home. The Lightning’s opponent, Vancouver, was playing its sixth road game in nine days. The Canucks were starting goaltender Jacob Markstrom, who had only five starts and one win this year. And, to top it…

Lightning beats Columbus on shorthanded goal by Brian Boyle

in Sports/Top Headlines by

It isn’t his scoring touch that keeps Brian Boyle in the NHL. At least, not until lately. Boyle knocked in the winning goal with 6:13 gone in the third period. Alex Killorn took the puck away and turned it into a breakaway on the left side of the net, then passed across to Boyle. It was Boyle’s eighth goal of the year, not bad for a player who has only 23 goals combined in the last three seasons. Jonathan Marchessault also…

Lightning wins despite injury to goaltender Ben Bishop

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Midway through the third period, Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop seemed to have things in hand. He had stopped 24 shots by the San Jose Sharks, and he held a 4-2 lead, and he was well on his way to being one of the stars of the game. And then it happened. Bishop was raked across the face by the stick of Tomas Hertl, the blade getting inside his mask and injuring him. The severity was not annouced, but Bishop…

Lightning beats Anaheim despite two nullified goals

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Half of their goals didn’t count, but the Tampa Bay Lightning started its West Coast road trip off with a victory Wednesday night. The Lightning won 2-1 despite having two second-period goals nullified. The first was on a high-stick by forward Nikita Kucherov, and the second was on goaltender interference by Ryan Callahan. Still, the Lightning scored two that counted, one by Jonathan Drouin and one by Jonathan Marchessault. For Drouin, who also had an assist, it was his first…

Lightning’s Jonathan Marchessault measures up in shootout

in Sports/Top Headlines by

You know how big Lightning forward Jonathan Marchessault is? He’s as big as a shootout. He’s as big as a winning streak. He’s as big as his moment on Wednesday night that led to a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. Marchessault, the diminutive (he’s listed at 5-9, 175) player) has been fairly large for the Lightning lately. His assist set up an opening goal by Tyler Johnson, and his score to lead off a shootout was the team’s…

Lightning scores a season high 5 goals in win over Ducks

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Evidently, the light over the Tampa Bay Lightning net works, after all. The Lightning scored five goals – finally – to wallop the Anaheim Ducks, 5-0, on Saturday night at the Amalie Arena. It was a rare outburst of scoring by a Lightning team that has lost the scoring touch it demonstrated a year ago. In fact, in the Lightning’s last four losses, it had only five goals total. This was different, however. After a scoreless first period, the Lightning…
