The Lightning scored two goals in a 1:21 span to tie the game.<\/p>\n
Gourde cut the deficit to 2-1 at 14:10 of the second period with a wrist shot from the right circle under the right arm of Andersen.<\/p>\n
“I just thought we had a terrible start, you can’t give that up,” Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. “We turned it into a 40-minute game and you’re down 2-0 with two periods [left]. I thought we did a great job coming back and gave ourselves every chance to win that game.”<\/p>\n
D’Astous evened it 2-2, finishing a 2-on-1 rush when he tapped in Brayden Point<\/a>‘s centering pass off Andersen’s blocker as he crashed the net.<\/p>\n “Obviously they had a little push, but I thought after that we recovered really well,” Andersen said. “And the third was a great example of that. Just got back to our game and [scored on] a little bit of a seeing-eye shot.<\/p>\n Logan Stankoven<\/a> secured the 4-2 final with an empty-net goal at 18:29 of the third period after Andersen made a point-blank save on Nikita Kucherov<\/a>‘s shot from in tight. \u00a0<\/p>\n “Obviously started out great, and you get the goal to start the game,” Brind’Amour said. “That gets you just, you know, feeling good about things. And I thought we were really good. We had a couple mistakes that they ended up capitalizing. But really, throughout the game, I thought we were solid. A couple big saves, a couple special plays from guys. Overall great effort.”<\/p>\n NOTES:\u00a0Aho has nine points (three goals, six assists) in his past nine games. … Svechnikov has nine points (two goals, seven assists) in his past six games. … Lightning forward Nick Paul<\/a> and\u00a0defenseman Erik Cernak<\/a> each returned to the lineup.
