The second Lightning goal came 7:21 into the middle period. Yanni Gourde won a board battle in the Tampa Bay end and worked the puck to Cirelli, who lifted it forward. Hagel skated onto the puck and forced his way to the net. DeSmith stopped Hagel’s shot but was out of position for the rebound. Cirelli followed the puck and tucked it in.

The Tampa Bay Lightning will be facing off against the Dallas Stars on March 20. Their goal will be to stay hot after winning each of their last two games against the Boston Bruins and then the Philadelphia Flyers.
