2015-16 Pre-season game 5: Bolts get slapped by Pens in Johnstown

Tuesday's exhibition was over pretty much before it started for the Lightning, as the Penguins grabbed the lead fast and held it all game.

Despite circling it first on the 2015-16 calendar back in May, the Tampa Bay Lightning fell to the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 Tuesday night at Cambria County War Memorial Arena in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

Tonight’s game was a part of a long-term promotional campaign led by Kraft Hockeyville USA. It became pretty obvious in the pregame that the 1977 film Slap Shot was a majority reason this game existed, as tonight’s venue was the primary filming location for the movie.
