Lightning (“Kuch” to Colton) Strike Late, Go Home Up (2-0) VS Top Ranked Florida (Panthers)

Ross Colton, who scored the lone goal in the Lightning’s repeat Cup title, game 5 win vs Montreal last season, took a brilliant pass from the great Nik (Nicky and his Lightning are 3/8 there) Kucherov and scored with 3 seconds left, lifting T.B. (2-1) at Florida and a (2-0) quarters lead with the series shifting to Tampa Bay for #3, not Saturday (concert at Amalie Arena) but Sunday afternoon.

It is the second straight season T.B. has “walked” into “out of the way,” Sunrise Arena and won the first two games of the series, having done so in last year’s prelims.

“Vas” (Andrei Vasilevskiy) again was great in net, allowing just one goal for the third straight game. This is a great team!
