How would the Jackets follow up their performance in the Horseshoe?
First Period
Disastrous start to this one with Tampa Bay scoring on their first two shots. First, the Lightning third line struck when a Lilleberg point shot was deflected by Chaffee and through Elvis.
TBL Goal 0-1 Chaffee (Lilleberg, Raddysh) 0:30
Not long after, a Mateychuk shot missed the net and was gathered by Guentzel on the half-wall. He found Kucherov alone behind the D who beat Elvis.
TBL Goal 0-2 Kucherov (Guentzel) 1:37
Now down two, the pace of the game began to open up into a free flowing affair.
