The Lightning fell 3-1 Friday night, losing to Philadelphia for the second time in a week. Only Brian Boyle’s late goal kept the team from being shut out for the second straight game.

The Lightning’ offense went missing again Tuesday night in a 2-1 loss to Detroit, the fourth time in th last five games the Bolts have scored one or fewer goals. The team had hoped it had broken out of that slump in a 4-3 victory over Carolina…

Suddenly, it is your team, and your game, and your opportunity. Quick as that, life is on the counter-attack. Which is sort of the way Stuart Campbell’s week has gone.
