Alrighty. Shots are 13-3, New Jersey – the only Lightning players to have shots are Lecavalier, St. Louis, and Malone. Faceoffs are 50-50 between the teams, and pretty much 50% or 0% for all of the Tampa Bay players. Downie & Malone each have two hits. And the Lightning have five giveaways, while the Devils only have two.
