It wasn’t the best night for the Tampa Bay Lightning. They lost the last regular season game at Amalie Arena to the Washington Capitals, 6-3. The Caps dominated the Bolts and scored three goals during the first period [Raw Charge]
Washington continued to dictate the pace as the period continued whereas the Lightning struggled to navigate the neutral zone effectively. Then when Tampa Bay did manage to get some offensive pressure, Gourde was called for hi-sticking at 14:12. Live and on replay it appeared that Gourde didn’t make contact with Oshie’s helmet, but the officials thought otherwise.
