It was a rough night for the Tampa Bay Lightning as they barely avoided being blanked by the New York Islanders on Tuesday. The Islanders took a 2-0 lead into the third period, but a late goal by Dominic James put the Lightning on the scoreboard. Unfortunately it was not enough, though, as New York went on to defeat the Lightning 2-1 to snap Tampa’s seven-game win streak they had going since November 18th.
Bo Horvat got the Islanders on the scoreboard first quickly in the first period. :55 seconds in he scored on a wrist shot that put New York up 1-0 over the Lightning.
