2. NO SHOT
The Lightning started to take control of the game in the second period.
And they did it by limiting the number of looks Anaheim got at their goal.
The Ducks, in fact, didn't record a shot in the second until 1:32 remained in the period. Anaheim ended up firing off four shots against Bishop over the final minute and a half to make the shot total at least look somewhat respectable by the time the teams headed into the locker room for the second intermission.
But the Bolts effectively shut down the Ducks attack after the first period.
"I think it's just playing within our structure," Lightning center Tyler Johnson said. "I thought our D did a tremendous job in the D zone, able to get us the pucks and we were able to play in the offensive zone with it. We were just all moving together, and that's what we preach, that's what we want and it was clicking tonight."
The Bolts' stingy D continued in the final period. Anaheim scored on its first shot of the third but only got two more shots the rest of the way. The Ducks went the entire five-minute overtime without a shot on goal.
Anaheim finished with 16 total shots, tied for the lowest amount the Lightning have given up this season (also: Oct. 20 vs. Colorado in a 4-0 loss).
"We were really aggressive with the puck, and we were aggressive without the puck," Cooper said. "If you watched when they tied the game, we actually kind of sat back a little bit there, and it burned us. That was probably the only time of the game, it was about a two minute span, we were a little bit on our heels. As I said, they reset and went back to work. The more aggressive we were, the better we played."
