Game 7: Hurricanes (4-1-1) at Lightning (2-1-0)

Big eastern conference battle tonight.

Canes going with the same line up as they iced on Sunday and will once again face the opposing teams backup.

Puck drop is next.

1-1

1-1 at the end of one.

Mrazek has saved everything he’s supposed to so far.

Mrazek is doing all he can. Gotta keep that low slot area cleared. It's how we lose if we're going to.

Forwards are really starting to find their groove. A lot more no look passing, open area passing, and general chemistry shining through. Love it.

Necas netted his first career goal off a great look from Foegele. Just a fun game here, boys.

[MillionDollarCam]

Weathered the storm that Lightning brought in the second.

The boys are clearly tired from three games in four days but Mrazek has been strong.

Tied 2-2 at the end of two

Goal 2: Necas (1) from Foegele (2) and Zykov (1)

[lightsout]

We've got to get pucks out of our end on a more consistent basis. We keep fumbling around with pucks in the corners and losing those 1-on-1's (unless you're Pesce, apparently). TB needs the dirty goals in tight. Only way they win is to throw traffic in front. Keep everything outside and Mrazek will have us covered. We'll score at least one more in this one if we can just tighten up the back end for 20 minutes.

[MillionDollarCam]

Tough loss. The schedule didn’t help, three away games in four days and two against 2018 conference finals teams is rough.

As far as the game, special teams needs a lot of help. I’d say this loss is solely on special teams, the power play and penalty kill were atrocious.

Back to the grind on Saturday.

i hoped they would win in this game (
