GAME RECAP

The visitors got on the board first on the power play with a blistering point shot through traffic from Mikhail Sergachev at 16:10 of the first period.
Seabrook tied the game up from the side of the net at 8:27 of the third. The defenseman walked the puck down the far boards and cut in along the goal line, flipping a quick shot off the back of Curtis McElhinney's mask and in to tie it, 1-1.

Just 77 seconds later, the Lightning would re-gain the lead as a Victor Hedman shot from the point was re-directed in front by Anthony Cirelli and past Corey Crawford for a 2-1 lead at 9:44 of the third.
The Lightning struck again soon after as Ondrej Palat slid a puck past a diving Olli Maatta on a 2-on-1, finding Brayden Point at the back post for the 3-1 lead at 12:23.
Chicago once again kept things interesting late as Strome knocked home an Andrew Shaw rebound at 17:17 of the third, his fifth of the season, with Crawford on the bench and an extra attacker on.

Tampa Bay put it away with an empty-netter at the 19:00 mark, 4-2.
