The Lightning lost to the Predators last night 3-2. Aside from a terrible second period, the Lightning looked pretty good. But that 20 minutes was enough to determine the outcome. Nashville and Pekka Rinne in particular were too good last night for the Bolts to pull of one of their patented comebacks.
The Lightning didn’t deserve to win this game. An atrocious first two periods do not get forgiven because the team got chances at the end of the third period. They were playing behind the whole game and not only did the period by period stats show it, but the final score does as well.
