At the halfway point of Tampa Bay's road trip starter in Florida, the Lightning appeared to be in an unescapable hole.
Moments earlier, the Panthers scored 12 seconds into a 5-on-3 power play to extend their lead to 4-1. The Lightning owned the advantage on the shot counter, but every opportunity the Panthers received, it seemed, was a major scoring chance.
And they weren't missing.
The Lightning never gave up, though. They've been down before in games this season and rallied. And with their offense, three goals in 30 minutes was not unthinkable.
