The Tampa Bay Lightning earned three of a possible four points in a challenging back-to-back against two of the NHL's best teams, but the weekend ended with a gut punch in Winnipeg. On today's episode of Lightning Power Lunch, Dave Mishkin and Greg Linnelli break down the Lightning's dramatic comeback wins and near-comeback losses against the Minnesota Wild and Winnipeg Jets, and why there are still plenty of positives to take away despite the frustrating finish.
The guys discuss Tampa Bay's remarkable rally from a 3-0 deficit in Winnipeg, the sequence that led to the game-winning goal with just 1.6 seconds remaining, and whether fatigue played a major role after a difficult travel schedule and back-to-back games. They also examine the costly penalties, the decisive five-on-three, and why the Lightning were seconds away from turning a tough night into a valuable standings point.
The conversation also revisits the thrilling overtime win in Minnesota, where the Lightning overcame an early 2-0 deficit, scored three power-play goals, and completed one of their most dramatic comebacks of the season. From Jake Guentzel's clutch scoring to Charles-Édouard D'Astous' game-tying blast and Nikita Kucherov's overtime winner, the guys break down how Tampa Bay stole two points on the road.
Plus, discussion on the growing impact of the Zemgus Girgensons-Pontus Holmberg-Ilya Mikheyev line, concerns surrounding the health of Brayden Point and Anthony Cirelli, Dennis Hildeby's strong performance in Minnesota, special teams trends, defensive-zone execution, and what the Lightning need to clean up before facing Buffalo and Columbus.
