As the regular season begins to wind down, the Lightning have hit one of their rougher patches of this calendar year as they eye the postseason.
All four games between the Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs this season have genuinely been decided by a single goal. For the first time, however, the Bolts found themselves on the losing end as they fell 4-1 at the Air Canada Centre on Tuesday night.
For the Lightning, this loss is the fourth in the past five games and puts the team at third place in the close Atlantic Division playoff race.
