Practice Notebook: Day-after reaction from Bolts following Game 4 rally

Tyler Johnson’s goal with 5:26 remaining in regulation, the Tampa Bay Lightning’s first score in Detroit in nearly 180 minutes, was clearly the lift the Lightning needed to engineer a dramatic comeback in Game 4 on Thursday.

But, it was an incident a few minutes prior that gave the Lightning a lift and rallied the Bolts to a 3-2 overtime win in Joe Louis Arena.

With 7:28 to go in the game, Detroit’s Luke Glendening shoved Johnson into the boards from behind, sparking a scuffle that involved everybody on the ice, sans goalies, and left Glendening heading to the locker room for the rest of the game with an injury to the thumb on his right hand, an injury requiring stitches.
