It’s probably not a great idea to get into a track meet with an Olympic sprinter, but the Carolina Hurricanes still decided to give it a shot. Sixty minutes later, Tyler Johnson had potted a hat-trick and the Tampa Bay Lightning walked out with a 5-4 victory.
Give the Canes credit for hanging around—and even leading, twice—in this one, but the Lightning are built for wide open games like this one, and it showed.
But despite the monster that is Tampa’s attack, it was Brock McGinn opening the scoring three-and-a-half minutes into the opening frame.
