The Lightning iced the series last night with a 3-1 win on home ice. Tampa came out hard, nearly converting on their first shift. They continued to pressure throughout the first, earning a powerplay and creating chances, but Tuukka Rask continued to say no. Most of the second half of the period was defined by minor penalties, but one that stuck out was a minor assessed to Dan Girardi for holding on Brad Marchand.
