TAMPA, Fla. -- The game was billed as a 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs rematch.
The result looked nothing like it.
The Tampa Bay Lightning scored eight of the game's final nine points, rolling past the Devils in an 8-3 victory on Tuesday at Amalie Arena.
A game that somehow started with the Devils leading 2-0 one goals by Miles Wood and Travis Zajac in the opening 5:04 morphed into the team's worst loss of the young season, where the Lightning outplayed the Devils in every aspect.
Keith Kinkaid allowed seven goals on 38 shots before being pulled in the third period, giving way to Cory Schneider for his first game action since undergoing hip surgery in May.
