Game Recap: TB 2 - NYI 3 (OT)
What happens when you can't stay out of the box in OT? Inevitably you give up the game winning goal. That's what happened as the Bolts lost in OT to the Islanders Saturday night. The Lightning were called for 10 penalties on the night, the final 2 in overtime, and with 27 seconds left, former Bolt Mike Sillinger got the game winner on a shot from the left circle. "Anytime you get two power plays in overtime, you have to score," Sillinger said.
The two Lightning goals came from Brad Richards, both in the third period. "We battled," Richards said. "It was a great effort. We got one point. We would have liked to have two, but we couldn't get that done."
Holmer looked good again, giving up a fluky goal and a deflection, neither of which he saw. He finished with 30 saves on 33 shots.
I think we played hard, and battled back a couple times," Tampa Bay coach John Tortorella said. "We did a lot of good things."
The Bolts now hit the road for 2 games in Canada, first against the Leafs then the Habs.
