For the Lightning, there was a lot to like in Wednesday's 4-3 exhibition win in Carolina.

And not just the play of touted defense prospect Mikhail Sergachev.

Sure, Sergachev, 19, delivered with a goal and plus-3 in a team-high 22:16, a great way to start his audition for a spot.

But other players stood out, too.

*Forward Adam Erne scored a goal for the second straight game. Both came in front of the net, this one a spin-and-shoot. Erne, who had an extended callup late last season, is in a tough battle to crack the roster.
