Remember that team that couldn't score more than one goal a game? It seemed all but a distant memory.
The team that scored the most goals of any NHL team last season waited three games to truly make its return. And the Lightning made up for the lack of goals scored in an 8-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The eight goals are tied for second most in a game in franchise history.
