The Tampa Bay Lightning’s nine-game home winning streak came to a crashing halt on Valentine’s Day, the St. Louis Blues building a 2-0 lead at Amalie Arena and holding on over a frenzied last minute of the game to prevail 2-1.
But the loss wasn’t without controversy.
Patrik Berglund’s game-winning goal with 2:19 remaining was initially ruled no goal on the ice as Berglund was deemed to have kicked the puck in the net. After review, however, it was determined that the puck deflected off Berglund’s skate and entered Tampa Bay’s net in a legal fashion.
The two-goal deficit proved to be too much for the Bolts to overcome.
