After a Home-and-Home series against in state rivals, the Florida Panthers, the Bolts continue their road trip, facing off against former Southeastern Conference foe the Carolina Hurricanes, and heading into Canada to face the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators.
It was tough sledding against Carolina, who outshot the Lightning 44-13, and pulled off a much deserved overtime win.
In Toronto, the Bolts looked like the team that dominated most of the regular season last year, lead by 2 goals from Brayden Point, who was returning from injury.
Unfortunately, the Bolts dropped a winnable game in Ottawa as well, making it critical that they win in Montreal and Boston to clear the 7 Point goal for the road trip.
