After all that emotional turmoil from the Trade Deadline, this was just what the doctor ordered.
1st Period
Not a whole lot of scoring, but Mark Kastelic had himself a little donnybrook with Emil Lilleberg, real heavyweight contest between the 6’3+ players.
After that? Onto the scoring!
2nd Period
To open the scoring, Cole Koepke was able to pick Nick Perbix’s pocket and bring the puck to the net. Just about everybody on the Lightning loses Vinni Lettieri as he charges the net, and so OIiver Bjorkstrand basically passes the puck to Lettieri, who gets in a little scrum with Bjorkstrand and the confusion leads to a goal!
