Yesterday all three teams of the Tampa Bay Lightning organization stepped on the ice to play in their respective leagues. Let’s take a quick look on the results of these games.
The Lightning was the only team who earned two points on Saturday night. In a very tight game the Lightning defeated the Florida Panthers, the leader of the Atlantic Division, thanks to an overtime goal by Brayden Point. The Bolts extended their point streak to seven games and reduced the gap in the standings [Raw Charge]
The Bolts had some familiar faces return to the line-up as Zach Bogosian returned to the line-up for the first time since he was injured in the season-opening game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. After battling a small injury himself, Boris “The Boriscuda” Katchouk returned and skated on a line with Ross Colton and Taylor Raddysh (The Triplets 2.0, maybe?) Mikhail Sergachev also returned to action after his two-game suspension and logged 23:22 of ice time.
Andrei Vasilevskiy was outstanding in this game, this save was not only spectacular, but kept the team in the game during the overtime.

Brayden Point scored two goals in that game, including this game-winning goal, and deservedly was named the first star of the game.

The Syracuse Crunch rallied back from a 4-2 deficit, earning the overtime and eventually bringing the game to shootout, but unfortunately the Hershey Bears were a little bit more successful, taking a 5-4 shootout win at the Upstate Medical University Arena.

The Orlando Solar Bears dropped a Saturday game to the South Carolina Stingrays. Tyler Bird scored twice for Orlando. Both teams will meet again tonight.
Bad news: the Stingrays add an empty-net goal late as our comeback bid comes up short.
