The Tampa Bay Lightning crossed the border on Thursday night to take on the Ottawa Senators. The Lightning looked to extend a winning streak after beating the Washington Capitals 4-2 in Washington on Tuesday. Tonight they managed to extend the streak to a second game, defeating the Ottawa Senators 4-3 despite a late-game rally from the home team.
In a rare situation, Jon Cooper started Louis Domingue in net. For most of the season, the Lightning’s back-up goaltenders (Domingue and Peter Budaj) have rarely started a game that wasn’t a back-to-back situation.
