For one of the few times this season, the Tampa Bay Lightning lost the special teams battle as they went 0-for-4 on the power play while allowing two power play goals against in a 5-1 loss to the Nashville Predators. Jonas Johansson who stopped 24-of-29 shots was outduled by Jusse Saros who was stellar as he turned aside 32-of-33 Lightning shots. The lone Bolt to beat him – Alex Barre-Boulet.
Barre-Boulet opened the scoring as he converted off of a nice play that was started when Brandon Hagel broke up a play in the defensive zone. Darren Raddysh sent Anthony Cirelli the other way with a nice breakout pass.
