A lack of execution and game management against Nashville was also reiterated by Moritz Seider.
“I think they do things really well, and we just weren’t really prepared for that,” Seider said about the Predators. “That probably comes with a little bit of a lack of intensity. Other than that, you’re still in it in the third. We just got to find ways to get the puck out of your own net and score more goals.”
Currently leading the Atlantic Division, Tampa Bay stretched its winning streak to five consecutive games with a 5-1 victory over the Calgary Flames at AMALIE Arena on Wednesday.
Nikita Kucherov paces the Lightning with 27 points, including a club-best 16 assists, while Brandon Hagel and Jake Guentzel are tied for second in scoring with identical stat lines (24 points on 12 goals and 12 assists). Netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy is off to a strong start this season, posting a 10-5-2 record, 2.28 goals-against average, .918 save percentage and one shutout in 17 contests.
“We just got to turn the page here and regroup,” Seider said. “We got another back-to-back coming.”
