The Tampa Bay Lightning dropped their Saturday matinee to the Ottawa Senators, 5-4. The Bolts battled back from 2-0 and 3-2 deficits, but a late second-period power play goal by Brady Tkachuk, and a third-period short-handed goal by Noah Gregor proved to be the difference. The Lightning failed to find the equalizer after Mitchell Chaffee brought them within a goal midway through the third period.
Andrei Vasilevskiy picked up his first loss of the season as he allowed 5 goals on 28 shots. Nikita Kucherov ran his goal-scoring streak to four games as he became the first Bolt to score seven goals in the team’s first four games.
