In a recent ice hockey match, the Tampa Bay Lightning showcased their power play prowess, going 3-for-3 for the second straight game. Mikey Eyssimont extended the lead to 6-3 after scoring off a rebound from Anthony Cirelli with 13:01 left in the third period. The Lightning's penalty kill, ranked 13th in the NHL, was tested several times, with de Haan penalized for cross-checking with 7:16 to go, Raddysh at 13:29 left in the 1st period, and Eyssimont for tripping at 11:56, leading to a critical Sabres power play. The Sabres' power play, having scored in its past two games, couldn't capitalize despite opportunities, including one with 8:04 remaining in regulation. The Lightning's defense held strong, particularly during a penalty kill with 9:54 left in the 2nd period and after Tuch's penalty for hooking Stamkos with 3:42 left in the same period. Calvin de Haan's empty-net goal with 1:16 left clinched the 3-1 victory for the Lightning.
