Sometimes a fairly solid effort for a team can be undone by one bad stretch of play. Such was the case on Tuesday when the Tampa Bay Lightning lost, 3-2, to the Edmonton Oilers. Edmonton dominated special teams as they scored shorthanded (Warren Foegele) and twice on the power play (Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl). Brandon Hagel and Alex Killorn had the tallies for the Lightning as the Oilers won in Tampa for the first time in over a decade.
First Period
The Lightning started the game doing what they should do against a team coming off of a back-to-back.
