This could have been a scheduled loss for the Tampa Bay Lightning. They were playing their second game in less than 24 hours. Their prior game had gone to overtime and they were at the end of a long road trip. Their opponent, the Anaheim Ducks, are struggling and it would be hard to manufacture the intensity against a team they only see twice a season. Then, two of their best players in Brayden Point and Victor Hedman, were out of the line-up with injuries. Yet, the Lightning found a way to dig out two points as Anthony Cirelli scored in overtime to give them a 3-2 victory as the Bolts end their five-game road trip with nine out of ten points.
Cirelli’s overtime goal leads Lightning to victory over Ducks, 3-2
