Tampa Bay did start Budaj in goal, but the Bolts came out firing and hammered away at the King's goalie, Jonathan Quick, the entire game getting 43 shots on goal. In a span of just 2 minutes and 2 seconds, Kuch, Stamers, Hedman, and Killorn all picked up goals in the 1st period. Namestnikov added 1 in the 3rd to give the Lightning's #1 line 4 of the 5 goals scored.
Peter Budaj made 22 saves and got his first win as a Bolt.
