Good news Tampa Bay fans: the Lightning scored again.
After going two-plus games and over 156 minutes without lighting the lamp, the Bolts finally broke through Thursday night versus Colorado, Alex Killorn backhanding a rebound produced by Victor Hedman’s slap shot from the right circle past Semyon Varlamov to end a maddening goal drought.
Unfortunately, nobody else joined Killorn on the score sheet.
The Lightning lost again Thursday, 2-1 to the Avalanche, the Bolts third defeat in a row, continuing a recent trend of futility against the Central Division. In 2014-15, the Lightning went 6-5-3 against the Central, their worst record against any division.
