Stats from Natural Stat Trick and NHL.com Tampa Bay Lightning Forward Linesīrandon Hagel - Brayden Point - Nikita Kucherov The debut of Johnny Gaudreau was slightly tarnished by the fact that Patrik Laine suffered a sprained elbow: Expect them to focus more on clearing the puck and keeping those shifts short against Columbus should they hit the penalty box again tonight.Īs for the Blue Jackets. It’s also exhausting and can take a shift or two after the penalty is over for the players to recover. According to Natural Stat Trick, four penalty killers had shifts that averaged more than one minute in length: It also led to long shifts for the penalty killers. So, silver lining, it could have been worse.ĭuring several of those shorthanded shifts, the Lightning’s lack of execution led to failed clears and extended zone time for New York.

Not to dwell too much on the penalty kill, but while killing off three of the four penalties seems like a positive thing, it was only by the skin of their teeth (and the flexibility of Andrei Vasilevskiy) that they were able to pull it off. Things kind of fell apart in the third as the Rangers absolutely smoked them all across the board, but part of that was due to the amount of penalties that both teams handed out, robbing the flow of the game a bit for the Bolts. Through the first two periods of the game they more than held their own leading in scoring chances (17-15) and high-danger chances (9-6). Even strength play was fine for most of the game. With a couple of days off in between games, hopefully the Lightning were able to work on the little details that they need to execute in order to get their game up to the level they’ve come to expect. Coach Cooper echoed those words when he told reporters, “We didn’t execute, didn’t make the plays we needed,” following the 3-1 defeat. A common refrain from coach Jon Cooper over the past two years, it’s the team’s way of saying that they just didn’t play up to the level they expect in the season-opening loss to the New York Rangers. We will credit Victor Hedman with the first official “We’ve got better in us” quote of the 2022-23 season.
