Wednesday, 3 a.m.
Suddenly, the road looks dark and dangerous. No longer does the Tampa Bay Lightning look electric with a map in their hands.
The Bolts, one of the NHL's best teams away from home this year, were battered once again Tuesday night. A five-run third period lifted the Ottawa Senators to a 6-2 victory.
The Bolts, who have won 23 times on the road this year, trailed by just one goal at 3-2 after Corey Pery scored 10:35 to play. But the Senators scored twice on the power play and twice on empty netters.
Also scoring for the Bolts was Nick Paul, his seventh of the year.
The Bolts play Thursday night in Montreal at 7 p.m. at the Bell Centre.
