Dylan Guenther<\/a> and Anders Lee<\/a> also scored, and Vincent Trocheck<\/a> had two assists for the Mammoth (8-4-0), who had lost two of three (1-2-0). Karel Vejmelka<\/a>\u00a0made 29 saves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe (didn\u2019t execute) a lot of plays and were a little bit nervous, but were capable of regrouping and finding our game and playing much better in the second half of the game,\u201d Tourigny said.<\/p>\n

Jake Guentzel<\/a> and Brayden Point<\/a> scored for the Lightning (7-3-1), who went 1-1-1 on their three-game road trip, including a 6-3 loss at the Colorado Avalanche on Friday. Dennis Hildeby<\/a>\u00a0made 23 saves.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are three playoff teams, and a lot of them are Stanley Cup contenders,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cIt was unfortunate at the end how we played that. But we’ll go home and regroup and see if we win a couple games at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guentzel gave Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead at 5:10 of the first period, firing a shot from the point that went in off the stick of Nate Schmidt<\/a>\u00a0through the legs of Vejmelka.<\/p>\n

Kailer Yamamoto<\/a> tied it 1-1 at 7:02 when his pass across the crease deflected off the stick of Emil Lilleberg<\/a>\u00a0and past Hildeby.<\/p>\n

Pontus Holmberg<\/a> put the Lightning back ahead 2-1 at 10:06 on a wrist shot over the shoulder of Vejmelka.<\/p>\n

Point\u2019s power-play goal extended it to 3-1 at 12:42, tapping in a shot from Kucherov.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought we got off to a good start tonight,\u201d Point said. \u201cWe had the lead and we gave that up, and that’s the hard part. But I thought our compete was better and our playmaking was better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guenther scored on the power play to cut it to 3-2 at 17:39 with a one-timer.<\/p>\n

Conor Geekie<\/a> made it 4-2 at 5:32 of the second period, lifting the puck over Vejmelka\u2019s glove.<\/p>\n

Lee cut it to 4-3 at 14:39, deflecting a bouncing puck off a shot from MacKenzie Weegar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe needed all facets of our game, especially in the third period,\u201d Lee said. \u201cWe put ourselves in a great position by clawing back before that. Just proud of the group that we settled in and didn’t get away from what we needed to do tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dylan Guenther and Anders Lee also scored, and Vincent Trocheck had two assists for the Mammoth (8-4-0), who…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":894003,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-894002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/894002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=894002"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/894002\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/894003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=894002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=894002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=894002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
