The Tampa Bay Lightning and their in-state rivals, the Florida Panthers, may have gotten off to a slow start in the first period. However, when these two Atlantic Division rivals hit the ice for the second period of play, things would look a whole lot different; especially for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Lightning kicked off the second period of play with the same kind of offensive aggression we have witnessed over the course of the last four games. It was only a matter of minutes before the Lightning would be able to kick things up another notch and find a way to capitalize on their offensive efforts and get one past Florida Panthers netminder Roberto Luongo.
