Forward Alex Killorn is a polarizing figure for Lightning fans, at least during the regular season. Some think he’s a perfectly fine role player who enhances Tampa’s offensive depth. To others he’s all that is wrong with the salary cap era — an overpaid, underperforming forward who spends too much time on Instagram and not enough time putting the puck in the net.
One thing both sides can agree on: Playoff Alex Killorn is a very good player. He showed his importance to the team in the third period of Game One against the New Jersey Devils as he ripped home the Lightning’s fourth goal of the game and gave them a bit of breathing room in a game they dominated for the majority of the night.
