The Tampa Bay Lightning got sucked into the muck and fell to the Edmonton Oilers 5-3 on the road and on the second half of a back-to-back. There were two fights and 42 penalty minutes between the two teams, including two diving penalties against the Oilers. The game was also the end of the Lightning’s five-game winning streak midway through their Western Conference road trip.
The Bolts lost their cool several times in this game, including at the end when Bouchard sent a slapshot at Paul’s feet in the final few seconds of the game.
