Game Story
The Lightning unfortunately were unable to keep up the good play of late and fell to the Sharks 4-3. It was a close game with the Sharks scoring a late goal to seal the victory. The game saw some very rough and questionable play form the Sharks as both Tomas Kloucek and Martin Straka were injured in careless plays by the dirty Shark team.
GM Moon:
“Marty and Tomas will be missed but hopefully they can recover soon. I don’t mind playing a rough, hard-nosed game but some of those guys out there were flat out reckless.”
The line of Pyatt, Brown and Scott Young continued clicking as Pyatt scored twice with Young picking up two assists and Brown added one. This line has been successful since the arrival of Brown and Pyatt and has been a bright spot on what has been an otherwise dismal offensive season for the Lightning.
The Lightning will try and rebound when they travel to Chicago to play the Hawks. Hopefully, Straka and Kloucek will be back in the line-up by then.
