The Tampa Bay Lightning’s quest to sweep the Nashville Predators came to an end on Monday. Prior to the matinee game, the Lightning was 5-0 against the Predators. After today’s 4-1 loss, the Lightning remained undefeated against one divisional opponent—Dallas. Eeli Tolvanen, Viktor Arvidsson, Calle Jarnkrok, and Mattias Ekholm scored for Nashville. Steven Stamkos was the lone goal scorer for Tampa Bay. Pekka Rinne looked like the Vezina version of himself with an outstanding 38-save performance. Curtis McElhinney stopped 22 of 25 shots, and even though he wasn’t at his sharpest he still provided more than enough goaltending for Tampa Bay to crawl back into the game.
