Senators 6 Lightning 3

Ottawa went up 3-0, the Bolts tied it up at 3, then gave up 3 goals in the 3rd to lose it.

Rarely do the Lightning lose. It’s even more bizarre to see them get hammered by the lowly Sens. No worries in Tampa as these things happen. Onward and upward, Bolts.

Tampa Bay has only had back to back losses one other time this season. They're due for a losing streak.

 

The NHL season is a marathon, not sprint. While I would like get them to get the President's Trophy (best record in the NHL) and have home ice for the duration of the playoffs, I'd rather the Bolts play their best hockey in March, April, May, and June. Only 8 President Trophy winners have gone on to win the Stanley Cup. Make the playoffs, then play your best hockey then.
