The Tampa Bay Lightning continue their late-season slump with a 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators. The game was a close 2-1 affair until Filip Forsberg burned Dan Girardi on a counter-attack, letting the chance for a ccomeback slip away. [Raw Charge]
Speaking of poor passes—Braydon Coburn made a cross-zone pass along the offensive blueline towards Dan Girardi, but the pass was a bit too far ahead of Girardi. Girardi read the play correctly and backed up as Forsberg recovered the puck and moved up the ice. Where Girardi made a mistake was how he covered Forsberg—he gave the young Swede too much space on the outside and he proceeded to skate around Girardi.
