For the first time in more than a month, the Tampa Bay Lightning had two days off in a row. It was a particularly tough grind that saw them play 19 games in 33 days with four back-to-backs, four road trips, and four games that went to overtime or a shootout. It wasn’t a great stretch by anyone’s imagination as they went 7-9-3 with some close losses and some appalling losses. Oddly enough they did save one of their more spirited games for the last one, a 2-1 loss to Boston that started off with a couple of fights right off the opening face-off.
