It’s not the position they want to be in.
But, it’s also a position they’re quite familiar with.
The Tampa Bay Lightning find themselves in a 1-0 hole in their best-of-seven, Second Round series with the New York Islanders after dropping Game 1 on Tuesday 5-3 at Amalie Arena.
For the first time in the 2016 playoffs, the Lightning are trailing in a postseason series.
But they have experience from last year’s Stanley Cup playoff run to draw from.
Tampa Bay dropped three of four Game 1s in the 2015 postseason. The Lightning would go on to win two of those three series.
