Lightning coach Jon Cooper thought that his team kicked away an opportunity for a win by not shooting enough early.

"Nine shots through 31 minutes," Cooper said. "It's not like we didn't have our legs. We just didn't shoot pucks.

"If you want to sit there and just play keep-away and not shoot pucks, it's not going to work for you," Cooper said. "There was a clear distinction between the first 30 minutes and the last 30 minutes. In the last 30 minutes we got everyone involved and were shooting pucks from everywhere. It was the tale of two games and I thought we had ample chances to win the game in regulation and one chance to win it in overtime. Here's the thing … we turned a 60-minute game into a 30-minute game."
