The Tampa Bay Lightning lost last night to the Minnesota Wild 3-2. They made a run at trying to get back into it in the third period after falling behind 3-1 in the first forty minutes, but it was a no-go. I’m not sure I can say I’m all that surprised, or even disappointed, with the result of this game. Not only have the Lightning been pretty bad in Minnesota for a long time, they’ve also played a lot of games recently.
The Lightning are finally at the end of one of the most brutal stretches of the schedule in the NHL.
