Once again, the Lightning fell behind early due to a slow start on the road. And once again, they were able to battle back to victory. Mathieu Garon allowed 3 goals in the first period, but Dwayne Roloson pitched a shutout in relief. Ryan Malone, Steven Stamkos and Teddy Purcell scored the next 3 goals of the game to tie it, and Dominic Moore scored what seemed like the first Lightning shootout goal in ages to give the Bolts yet another come from behind victory.
Being able to come back from all these deficits is good to see, but the Bolts should not be in a situation to come back in the first place. If this team wants to go far in the playoffs, or even make the playoffs for that matter, they need to get off to better starts so they don't have to hope for a miracle comeback every time.
