Lightning strike Winnipeg Jets for seventh straight loss
The good news for the Winnipeg Jets was that they found a way to score on last year's Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender four times Thursday night.
Winnipeg Jets suffered their seventh consecutive loss, falling to the Tampa Bay Lightning 6-4 on Thursday night. The Lightning dominated in the second period, scoring four goals to propel their lead, while the Jets struggled defensively. In the first period, Brayden Point scored the opening goal for Tampa. Despite a late offensive push from the Jets, including goals from Neal Pionk and Kyle Connor, they couldn't overcome the Lightning's fourth-period surge.
Stuart Skinner was pulled after allowing five goals on 21 shots, making debut netminder Nico Daws start in the third period. The Jets finished the night with a 4-6-3 record, while the Lightning remain at 6-3-3. The teams next face off on Friday night at the Florida Panthers, seeking redemption after a 5-1 loss last Tuesday.
