Lightning lose wild overtime game in Columbus, 7-6

Zach Werenski’s wrist shot from the top of the slot in overtime ended a wild game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Columbus Blue Jackets. It was the defenseman’s fifth point of the night and proved to be the difference in the 7-6 win for the home team. Eleven different players scored on a night that saw the Lightning blow a 3-0 lead while the Blue Jackets had one-goal leads evaporate within a minute on two separate occasions.

Neither coach will be happy with the defensive effort of either team as they watched a combined 152 shot attempts, 73 shots on goal, and 67 scoring chances.
