TAMPA, Fla.– The Tampa Bay Lightning (10-7-2) were upended by the Dallas Stars (12-5-3) 4-2 on Saturday night, snapping their five-game point streak.
Center Anthony Cirelli had a night to remember, scoring both of Tampa Bay’s goals and extending his goal streak to a career-long five games. However, his efforts were ultimately overshadowed by the Stars’ comeback victory.
