The Hurricanes five-game winning streak was snapped Thursday night at Amalie Arena as the Canes dropped a 3-1 decision to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning extended their home winning streak to nine straight games with the win..
The Lightning pushed hard in the early part of the first period and quickly established their uptempo game that has been successful for them so far this season. Tampa Bay’s Stamkos line cycled the puck for a few good potential chances but not many shots on goal.
At the 15:57 mark, Teuvo Teravainen committed a tripping penalty that sent the Lightning to the power play.
