It’s always kind of hard to pick the top players in a week where no one really stood out in three rather lackluster games for the Tampa Bay Lightning. They went west and dropped two out of three games with the lone win coming against the Chicago Blackhawks, a team that is more focused on the draft than the playoffs.
The offense struggled with 4 of their 7 goals coming against Chicago and their defense wasn’t much better as they surrendered 10 (2 of them empty netters) goals. They took too many penalties (20) and didn’t do a great job in killing them as they were at a lackluster 71.
