TAMPA - Bill Peters' recollection of Dec. 20 is spot-on.
When asked about his team's first meeting against the Tampa Bay Lightning, he rattled off an impressive recap of the 5-4 shootout setback.
"We were up 3-1 in the first, had a real good start," he said. "(Michael Frolik) was hurt at the time so (Sam) Bennett played with (Matthew Tkachuk) and (Mikael Backlund) and they were really good as a line.
"And then Johnny (Gaudreau) cut it up late, I don't remember the goal but I know we were down at one point but we tied it up and went to the shootout. I believe J.T. Miller was the only goal scorer.
"That's what I remember about the game, it was a good game, two good teams. We were 4-for-4 on the kill, only drew one penalty which was unusual. So we were 0-for-1 and they were 0-for-4, so our penalty-kill was obviously good.
"I look forward to a rematch tomorrow."
DING, DING - ROUND 2!
