Montreal blanks Tampa Bay Lightning in disappointing content

in Sports/Top Headlines by

As the playoffs approach, the Tampa Bay Lightning look less and less ready for them. The Bolts lost a 3-0 game to a Montreal team that has long since been eliminated from the post-season. But the Lightning, too, looks wobbly. Tampa Bay got off only three shots in the third period, and had a power play when it didn’t get any. Tampa Bay has one more game at home, a Saturday night effort against New Jersey, before finishing the season…

in Uncategorized by

Toronto had more energy. But Tampa Bay had Ben Bishop. Toronto had more shots, more life, more energy. But Tampa Bay had Bishop. Toronto had more scoring chances. But Tampa Bay had Bishop. And so it went. For every advantage the Maple Leafs had Monday night, the Bolts had Bishop, who played perhaps his best game of the year. Bishop had his sixth shutout of the year, a 34-save effort, and the Lightning won 3-0. It was arguably one of…

Lightning beats Islanders, but loses defender Anton Stralman

in Sports/Top Headlines by

All of the offense in the world mattered just a bit to the Tampa Bay Lightning Friday night. Instead, it was the loss of defenseman Anton Stralman that weighed heavily on the Bolts. Stralman, who pairs with Victor Hedman on the team’s top defensive line, broke the fibula in his left leg in a 7-4 victory over the New York Islanders. The injury will certainly cost Stralman the rest of the regular season. The team hopes he can return for…

Lightning gets two goals from Eric Condra in big win over Detroit

Entering its final 10 games, the Lightning clobbered the Detroit Red Wings Tuesday night, 6-2, in one of its easiest wins of the year. “We have 10 games left, and we’re not going to waste any of them,” said reserve Eric Condra. In fact, it was Condra who led the way for Tampa Bay, scoring twice. That’s not bad when you…

Lightning falls again as Dallas makes third-period comeback
