Stamkos, Paul, Maroon and Perry scored in the second period, when the Lightning chased Colorado goalie Darcy Kuemper while pulling away. “For him to go through what he went through two nights ago and then perform like he did tonight … not only that, but to have them score first and then have the team to respond and back him up, I guess that’s how you get to the places that we’ve been.” “A big part, too, is our goaltender,” Cooper added. But any way you slice it, it’s 2-1 now,” Stamkos said.
Lightning score from last night series#
“I don’t know why we started the series the way we did. Kucherov and Hedman had two assists, and Vasilevskiy stopped 37 shots.
Stamkos, Pat Maroon and Ondrej Palat each had a goal and an assist, and the Lightning scored four times in the second period to bounce back from an embarrassing 7-0 loss in Game 2 of the best-of-seven matchup.Īnthony Cirelli, Nicholas Paul and Corey Perry also scored to help Tampa Bay storm back after playing poorly while losing the first two games on the road. “You watch Stammer’s growth and Hedman’s growth through the years, and it’s probably not a coincidence that winning has followed us.” “The guys you need to lead you have been doing that, and then everybody falls in line,” Cooper added. There’s a reason why this has gone on for the last couple of years,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.
“There’s a reason why we’re here and there’s a reason why we won tonight. The victory, two nights after suffering the most lopsided loss in the team’s playoff history, trimmed Tampa Bay’s series deficit to 2-1 and breathed hope in the team’s quest to become the first franchise in nearly 40 years to win three consecutive NHL titles.
