Burns: 3 Things we learned from scoring five straight goals

With less than six minutes remaining in the second period, the Tampa Bay Lightning went down 4-2 in Calgary and, suddenly, the very real possibility the Lightning could drop their second game in a row and second of two after the All-Star break existed.
But before the Bolts could get too down on themselves, Matthew Peca rescued them from the brink and gave them new life.
And in the third period, the Lightning scored four-consecutive goals, all in a span of the first 8:26 of the period, to turn a potentially crushing loss into a rout.

In all, Tampa Bay netted five unanswered goals after going down 4-2 to win in Calgary, a place where the Lightning certainly haven't found goals to come by of late.
Following a 7-4 victory over the Flames on Thursday night, the Bolts have lit the lamp 13 times in their last two visits to Calgary.
How did the Lightning get things turned around this go round?
We'll take a closer look in Three Things we learned from a comeback in Calgary?

1. MATTHEW PECA IS A GAME-CHANGER
Clearly, Matthew Peca has taken full advantage of his second career callup to the Tampa Bay Lightning as he's gotten on the scoresheet in three of the five NHL games he's played this season, including points in three straight.
Peca has injected a shot of energy and exhibited perhaps better-than-expected skill during this turn with the Lightning. He's been a welcome addition to the squad and, with the way he's playing currently, could be with the Bolts for the remainder of the season.
In Calgary, Peca again made an impact, his goal 22 seconds after Tampa Bay went down 4-2 potentially saving the game.
"That was huge," said Lightning forward Cory Conacher, who was inserted into the lineup against Calgary and rewarded the Lightning with two goals, including the game-winner at 5:16 of the third period.
A two-goal deficit heading into the second intermission might have been too much for the Bolts to overcome.
Peca gave them renewed hope after answering Matt Stajan's marker so quickly. The Lightning would go on to score five-straight goals, Peca's being the catalyst.
"A two-goal lead, if they get the next goal, it could be a different game," said Alex Killorn, who followed Peca's goal with a tally of his own 12 seconds into the second period to tie the game 4-4. "We know that, so it's just one of those things where you're putting everything on net, he gets fortunate that it goes in. That might have been a turning point."
Peca has scored a goal in two-straight games and registered his first career multi-point game on Thursday with a goal and an assist. He was also plus-4, tying a Lightning season high for plus/minus.
"If you're going to win in this league, you need a little depth scoring," Lightning head coach Jon Cooper "You can't have the same guys doing it every night. When some of the guys that are used to scoring a lot go a little bit cold or cold for their expectations, we need other guys to step up and Peca's really done that since being called up."

2. KILLORN EMPHATICALLY ENDS SLUMP
Coming into Calgary, Lightning forward Alex Killorn hadn't recorded a point in eight-straight games and hadn't scored a goal in 11.
Safe to say he put both dubious streaks to bed on Thursday.
Following a scoring change after the game that credited Killorn with the second assist on the Lightning's opening goal - and Braydon Coburn's first of the season - Killorn finished with a whopping five points, scoring two goals and adding three assists.
Killorn's five-point night is a Lightning season high for single-game scoring, topping the mark of four points Killorn set earlier this season in a 5-4 win over Pittsburgh on October 12 and matched by Steven Stamkos on October 21, also against Pittsburgh.
Only eight other times in Lightning history has a Bolt put up five points in a single game. The last to do so was Vincent Lecavalier on February 23, 2011 versus Phoenix.
"It's been one of those things where the puck hasn't really been falling my way for a lot of the season, so to have a game like this, it's great, get my confidence back," Killorn said.
Killorn also registered the 200th point of his NHL career in Calgary, reaching the milestone on his second period power-play marker.
He's well on his way to another 200 with the way he produced Thursday.
"We just went over some video with him of how he was scoring his goals and having a little bit of a shot mentality first, instinctually just throwing pucks at the net," Cooper said. "I honestly thought, early in the game that line was really engaged but you know how it is, they get one and all of a sudden it's like the balloon pops and now they've got the vibes going."

3. CONACHER WORKS ALL THE ANGLES
Cory Conacher hadn't played since January 18 versus Vegas and was a healthy scratch in eight of the Lightning's last nine games.
So when he returned to the Tampa Bay lineup against Calgary, he was thirsting to show the Lightning coaching staff he deserved to stay there.
Two goals in 11-and-a-half minutes of action will certainly give the coaches plenty to think about the next time they fill out a lineup card.
Conacher netted a pair of sharp-angle markers in the third period to provide the go-ahead goal and an insurance tally in the 7-4 victory.
On the game-winner, Conacher hopped onto a puck near the boards in the right circle, wheeled and fired at the near post toward the Calgary goal, just squeezing the puck between the pipe and Flames goaltender Mike Smith.
"I think we deserved that," Conacher said following the game about the come-from-behind victory. "I think we were working hard all game. Obviously, there were a couple lapses throughout the game where they took advantage of, but for the most part, I think we were on them pretty well. We outbattled them, and when we shot the puck, it went in."
His second goal was even more improbable, Conacher chasing down a puck in the corner behind the Calgary goal and throwing it toward net, banking his shot off the back right leg of David Rittich, who entered for Smith after the Bolts' sixth goal.
Conacher has now scored five goals in 19 games this season and ranks eighth on the Lightning for goals per 60 minutes (1.02).
"He's been out of the lineup a little bit, guys that are used to scoring they get one, then all of a sudden they can get another one," Cooper said. "So hopefully that translates to a few more."
