Lightning score five unanswered, hand Flames their sixth loss in a row
CALGARY — Led by a big night by Alex Killorn on Thursday, Tampa Bay took advantage of a rare off-night by Mike Smith.
Killorn tied a career-high for points with two goals and two assists as the Lightning erupted for five unanswered goals, including four in the third period, in a 7-4 win over the Calgary Flames.
“The puck hasn’t really been falling my way for a lot of the season so to have a game like this, it’s great and gets my confidence back,” said Killorn, who had just three points over his previous 16 games.
Killorn’s line with rookies Matthew Peca (one goal, two assists) and Yanni Gourde (two assists) combined for nine points.
