The Tampa Bay Lightning lost the last game before heading to Sweden for the NHL Global Series. The New York Islanders recorded an eight win in a row [Raw Charge]
This game sucked. The Lightning didn’t play particularly badly. They’ve certainly played worse including in their absurd win over the Devils on Wednesday. They just never seemed to threaten the Isles. They looked harmless. And for a team with this much talent, that’s tough to watch.
The Lightning have also traded a goalie Louis Domingue, who started this season in Syracuse Crunch, to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft.
