Game review
Tampa Bay beat Chicago 4-1, taking control with a two-goal first period and pulling away in the third after Chicago got on the board. The game was decided by Tampa Bay’s ability to convert its chances and control the puck.
Ilya Mikheyev led the Lightning with two goals and two points, and Erik Cernak added two assists. Roman Kantserov scored Chicago’s goal, with Ethan Del Mastro assisting. Tampa Bay won 62.3 percent of faceoffs, went 1-for-3 on the power play, and outshot Chicago 35-26, while Chicago went 0-for-1 with the man advantage. Those team stats point to Tampa Bay spending more time with the puck and making its power play count.
For bettors, Lightning -1.5 covered by 1.5, and the 6.5 total went under by 1.5.
