The Lightning entered Saturday on a skid after falling to the Boston Bruins on Thursday night to drop into a WIld Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Lightning rebounded against the Detroit Red Wings with a 2-1 overtime victory on goals from Steven Stamkos and Brayden Point with back-up goaltender Brian Elliott putting on a stellar performance. With the win, and Toronto losing, the Lightning moved back into third in the Atlantic with Toronto falling into the wild card spot.
The offensive struggles for the Lightning have continued, even against weaker competition with just the two goals against Detroit.
