There really isn’t any reason to go beyond that headline. No need to delve into high danger chances or Corsi or saves above average. The Tampa Bay need to be better at the whole hockey thing. The good news is that they did show signs of life in the third period in their last game before the injury to Anthony Cirelli took a little wind out of their sails.
Even with Steven Stamkos (lower body/COVID protocol) and Cirelli (upper body) out of the lineup, the Lightning still have enough firepower to compete with the Florida Panthers, a team riding a really hot top line and an incendiary power play.
