Severson evened it 2-2 at 13:59 of the second period with a wrist shot from the high slot off a pass from Olivier.
“It’s nice to score, obviously,” Severson said. “We had a couple chances we could have buried, but I got a chance right in the slot. Olivier made a really nice pass to me and that was one that I definitely needed to bury. It changed things. Going into the intermission, it gives the boys a little bit of swagger, for sure.”
Greaves made 15 saves in the third period when the Lightning pressed for the equalizer.
“We were hard on pucks, played a solid game and we ended up getting rewarded early in the third,” Severson said. “Then we competed our butts off there, all the way through to the to the buzzer and got a big win.”
NOTES: Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov missed a second straight game because of illness. … Marchenko became the first Blue Jackets player to score five goals through the team’s first five games of a season. He also has six points (five goals, one assist) on a four-game point streak. … Guentzel’s assist gave him at least a point in 16 straight games against the Blue Jackets. The only players with an active point streak of at least that length against an opponent are Leon Draisaitl (18 games vs. the Chicago Blackhawks) and Connor McDavid (17 vs. the New Jersey Devils). … Tampa Bay defenseman Victor Hedman recorded an assist to give him 799 career NHL points (171 goals, 628 assists) in 1,137 games.
