Pregame Notebook: Lightning in search of consistency for Game 3

In every series during the Tampa Bay Lightning’s current Stanley Cup Playoffs run, the Lightning have followed convincing victories in Game 2 with a letdown in Game 3.

In the First Round versus Detroit, the Lightning leveled the series with a 5-1, Game 2 victory only to go on the road and get shutout in Game 3.

That scenario repeated in the Second Round. The Bolts blew out the Canadiens 6-2 to take both opening games in Montreal but were mediocre in Game 3 at home, bailed out when Tyler Johnson scored with 1.1 seconds remaining in regulation.
