A worthy Tampa Bay Lightning rally attempt didn\u2019t end with the desired outcome on Saturday as the host Lightning took a 4-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.<\/p>\n
Carolina grabbed a 2-0 advantage in the first period, both of which were set up by Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho.<\/p>\n
Tampa Bay rallied late in the second period to tie the game with goals from Yanni Gourde on a short break and defenseman Charle-Edouard D\u2019Astous near the net.<\/p>\n
The Hurricanes retook the lead in the third when a shot by Jordan Martinook caromed in off a Bolts defenseman and then added an empty-net score.<\/p>\n
Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy made 31 saves, and Frederik Andersen had 17 for the visitors.<\/p>\n
Tampa Bay is now 40-21-4 this season and will open a four-game road trip with Tuesday\u2019s visit to play the Seattle Kraken.<\/p>\n
