This game turned out about how I expected. I've known the styles of play between these two teams are different but it was interesting to see last night. The Bolts swarm and attack. The Jackets would rather grind it out. After a lackluster 1st period, I was impressed that the Jackets showed some intensity in the 2nd period. Vasilevskiy was on his game though and stopped some great shot attempts in the process. The Lightning have been red hot and I look for that to continue as they grow their lead over the Leafs.
