Command Analysis
Tampa just had two away games, in which they failed to record victories. First, the Lightning lost to Minnesota (2:4), thus ending their winning streak of three games. The Lightning's defense was unreliable and allowed the opponent to create and convert a large number of scoring chances.
In the second game, the Lightning traveled to St. Louis. Tampa gained the advantage of three goals in the first period, but, due to Tampa's multiple mistakes in defense, the Blues leveled the score and then were more accurate in the shootout.
St. Louis on the other hand, won the last two games, both played at home. First, the Blues defeated Columbus with a score of 6:3. St. Louis' Tarasenko and Buchnevich deserve praise for earning three points each.
