SUNRISE (AP) — Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning looked plenty fresh in the second leg of back-to-back games.
Stamkos and Alex Killorn scored to lead the Lightning over the Florida Panthers 2-1 on Tuesday night. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 27 shots for Tampa Bay, which lost 5-1 at home to the New York Islanders on Monday night.
“It was a great effort,” coach Jon Cooper said. “It was a game where we seemed like we played pretty consistent all the way through. On a back-to-back like that when we’re traveling, pretty impressed with the way the guys played.
