#2 Tampa Bay Lightning vs. #7 Columbus Blue Jackets

Welcome to today’s noon Game 5 game thread.

Well it’s been a very tight series against the Lightning, with Game 2 being the only game in the series — a Blue Jackets victory — in which the final score was by more than one goal. Otherwise, Columbus has done all they can to contain the powerful and highly offensive Lightning, but lack of scoring, whether even-strength or on special teams, has primarily been the difference.
