Stralman: Lightning feeding into Penguins' game

The Tampa Bay Lightning feel they only have themselves to blame for being down two games to one after the Pittsburgh Penguins reclaimed home-ice advantage with a dominant 4-2 win Wednesday.

"Right now, we're feeding their game a lot more than they're feeding ours," defenseman Anton Stralman said postgame.

Both clubs got off to an even, fast-paced start - it wasn't until the second period that Stralman feels things went off the rails.

"They really turned the tables in the second period," Stralman said, according to Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times. "They spent basically the whole period in our zone."

The Penguins ultimately outshot the Lightning 48-28, including a 21-6 margin in the second period. The Lightning will get their chance at evening the series Friday when they host the Penguins for Game 4.
