 Tampa Bay 2 Carolina 1 Final

The Bolts once again hold off a late Carolina attack two improve to a 2-0 series. Anthony Cirelli (3) and Alex Killorn (5) both scored for the Lightning. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 31 saves in the win. The Lightning were 0/2 on the power play, and also had 30 hits and 15 shots. Neither team had any lineup changes. Andrei Svechnikov (2) was the lone goal scorer for the Hurricanes. Alex Nedeljkovic made 13 saves in the loss. The Hurricanes were 0/2 on the power play, and also had 38 hits and 32 shots. My thoughts: this is not what I wanted when I predicted this series as the Lightning have taken the series lead. Tampa Bay leads best of seven series 2-0, Game 3 Thursday at 4:30.
