In the words of Saima: “Even after a tough loss, Brayden Point went out of his way to support the Girl Scouts.”

Game recap: The streak ends at seven. “Overall this was a disappointing game to attend, the Lightning seemed to ease up after Namestnikov scored and once Calgary went ahead the Bolts seemed lethargic. Suddenly waking up in the last two minutes of the game isn’t going to win this team many games, especially with how important points are now.” [Raw Charge]
Lightning point streak ends with loss to Flames. “I’m pinning this game on us,” coach Jon Cooper said. “A lot of things why we had success in the last month, we didn’t do tonight. It’s an 82-game season; that’s going to happen. But the problem is, we already used up our gimmes. We don’t have any more. That’s why this one is tough. This game was ripe for the taking.” [Tampa Bay Times]
