Poor start dooms Lightning in 3-1 loss
Lightning goalie Ben Bishop, looks back into the net as Calgary's Matt Stajan scores during the first period to give the Flames a 1-0 lead. THE ASSOCIATED PRESSCALGARY, Alberta — A victory on Tuesday would have put the Tampa Bay Lightning into a three-way tie for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
But just as their season has gone, the Lightning were unable to take advantage of that opportunity.
A poor start put Tampa Bay behind and the Lightning never recovered in a 3-1 loss to the Calgary Flames on Tuesday.
