After a sluggish start, the Lightning mounted just enough of a rally to come away with a 2-1 victory over the visiting Buffalo Sabres, snapping a two-game losing streak before heading out on a four-game road trip.
The Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Buffalo Sabres 2-1 at Amalie Arena in Tampa Saturday night.
This one looked ugly for the first 30 minutes (and not exactly great for much of the second 30) but Ben Bishop's heroics in the net were a huge factor in allowing the Lightning to hang around and mount just enough offense to overcome a one-goal deficit and escape with the win, breaking a two-game skid in the process.
