Three nights ago Tampa Bay Lightning forward Yanni Gourde finally broke his indescribably long 35-game scoreless streak and he did so in about as dramatic a fashion as anyone could have written. An overtime game-winning goal against one of the best teams in the league. After getting the monkey off his back, Gourde must have figured he has some catching up to do because he scored again the very next game.
After waiting for 35 games to get one goal he was able to net a goal in back to back games. So what gives? Did we just witness a fluky performance from Gourde, who is now bound to go on another long scoring drought?
