CHICAGO (AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning sure lived up to their name — and reputation as one of the NHL’s quickest teams.Brayden Point had a goal and two assists and the Lightning peppered the Chicago Blackhawks with 33 shots in a three-goal second period in a 6-3 victory Sunday night.The 33 shots are the most in the NHL in a period since 1997-98 Ivan Provorov Jersey , when shots by period became an official statistic.“We had a lot of low plays, a lot of rebounds that were probably racking up some shot totals,” coach Jon Cooper said. “And everything was hitting the net. You need a lot to go right for something like that to happen. That’s why it doesn’t happen very often.”Nikita Kucherov and Victor Hedman each had a goal and assist, and Anthony Cirelli and Yanni Gourde also scored as Tampa Bay fired a team-record 55 shots. Ryan Callahan added an empty-netter with 2:05 left.“We were flooding the ice,” Gourde said. “We worked as a unit of five. It’s great for everybody. Feel the puck, have a few touches, direct pucks at the net.”Blackhawks rookie Alexandre Fortin scored his first NHL goal to tie it late in the first, but the Lightning took charge with their speed and exploited Chicago mistakes to skate away with the win. David Kampf and Nick Schmaltz scored late in the third period to allow Chicago to close it to 5-3, but the Lightning’s second-period blitz had sealed the outcome.“(The second) was a tough period in a lot of aspects,” Chicago coach Joel Quennville said. “I don’t think we touched the puck at all.”Cam Ward got the start in goal for Chicago and made 49 saves as the Blackhawks played their third game in four days.Corey Crawford was solid in Chicago’s previous two contests, including a 4-1 win at Columbus on Saturday, as he returned from a concussion that had sidelined him since last December.In this one, Ward’s head was spinning after he stopped 30 shots in the second to keep it respectable.“It’s pretty rare to be seeing that much work in a period,” Ward said. “We know that we need to be better Jakub Voracek Jersey Kids , especially in our home building, and play with some pride and some passion. Unfortunately, it seemed like it was lacking at times tonight.”Schmaltz’s power-play goal with 3:48 left was awarded after a video review showed the puck had crossed the goal line within the glove of goalie Louis Domingue. It was the first power-play goal allowed by the Lightning in 29 chances this season.Domingue made 33 saves in his second start this season as No. 1 goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy got a night off.Chicago came on late and outshot Tampa Bay 17-12 in a first period that ended tied at 1.Kucherov opened the scoring 3:21 in after receiving Hedman’s long stretch pass at the Chicago blue line. He sprinted past defensemen Brent Seabrook and Erik Gustafsson, then finished by lofting a backhander over Ward’s glove.Fortin tied it at 1 at 11:40 when he broke alone from the Tampa Bay blue after taking a long pass from Jan Rutta, who whipped the puck from corner of his own zone. After faking, Fortin fired between Domingue’s pads.Ward came up with tough saves throughout the game to prevent a blowout.But Domingue’s right-toe stop on Patrick Kane during a Chicago power play with 1:40 left in the first period was the flashiest. Kane sped down left wing, took a cross-ice pass and fired from the circle, but Domingue kicked out his legs and spun like a windmill to deny the Chicago star.The Lightning took charge in the second, building a 4-1 lead while outshooting Chicago 33-6Cirelli made it 2-1 at 4:22 of the period when he kept poking at a puck from a scrum at the right side of the net and eventually knocked it in.Gourde increased it to 3-1 at 12:07 when he slipped between two defenders, took Ondrej Palat’s feed from below the goal line and connected from the slot.Point’s goal’s 1:54 later, on a rebound of Kucherov’s shot put Tampa May in charge, 4-1.Hedman pinched down to the left circle to make it 5-1 midway through the third.Kampf connected from the slot with 4:43 left to cut it to 5-2Schmaltz made cut it to 5-3 55 seconds later, but Callahan’s empty-netter sealed it.NOTES: According to a story from the Boston Globe, the Blackhawks allowed 33 shots in the second period of a 3-2 loss to the Bruins on March 4 Youth Jordan Weal Jersey , 1941.

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) It was a bittersweet night for rookie center Mark Jankowski.Jankowski scored four times, and the Calgary Flames finished off a disappointing season with a 7-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday.”Not the way we wanted it to end, we want to keep on playing, but definitely a building year,” said the 23-year-old Jankowski, who had just three points in his previous 18 games. ”I just take everything I learned this year from all the vets and use that as fuel in the summer to come back into camp and even better player.”Calgary entered the night in an offensive funk, having mustered only nine goals over the previous nine games, eight of them losses. The seven goals was the club’s biggest offensive outburst since a 7-4 victory over St. Louis on Nov. 13.”It’s one of those things. Tonight, for some reason, everything bounced in and I think we could have had even more,” Flames captain Mark Giordano said. ”It’s nice to end it on that note, but it’s been a tough year and obviously a disappointing year.”Before the game, players from both teams and the officials formed a circle at center ice for a moment of silence for the 15 people who lost their lives in the Humboldt Broncos bus accident.”You have those guys http://www.officialflyersproshop.com/authentic-adidas-nolan-patrick-jersey , that community, the team, on your mind all day,” Giordano said. ”We’re one big community, the hockey community, there’s a lot of people feeling this one.”Afterward, the Saddledome crowd broke into a chant of ”Broncos! Broncos!””We talked a lot to our guys about the emotion and the purity of the game,” Flames coach Glen Gulutzan said. ”Just think about the young men on that bus, who would love to be in the seats that we are. That was their goal and we wanted to play as well as we can to honor that.”Spencer Foo, Garnet Hathaway and Johnny Gaudreau also scored for the Flames (37-35-10), who missed the playoffs for the seventh time in the past nine seasons. A big factor was Calgary’s 17-20-4 home record, its worst mark since 2000-01.Cody Eakin scored for Vegas (51-24-7), which finished first in the Pacific Division and will open the playoffs on home ice against Los Angeles. Vegas is the first modern-era expansion team in any of the four North America pro spots to win its division in its first season.”Right from the start it’s been a fun season,” goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury said. ”It’s fun to be a part of this team and this organization through it all. I’m really proud of the way this team has done throughout the season. Playoffs are fun Scott Laughton Jersey , intense, exciting. I’m looking forward to getting it going.”Golden Knights veteran James Neal was impressed at how quickly the team gelled after being thrown together at the expansion draft.”What impressed me most about our group is the consistency we played with, the way we rolled four lines, we counted on each player and needed each guy every night and every guy brought their game,” he said.Down 3-0 after the first period, Vegas scored 51 seconds into the second. But the Flames responded with three more unanswered goals before the period ended.Jankowski secured his first NHL hat trick with a short-handed goal at 18:06, bringing over 100 hats raining down onto the ice.He completed the scoring at 1:32 of the third. It was Calgary’s first power-play goal in 14 games, snapping a 0-for-35 skid.Jon Gillies had 26 stops for Calgary. Fleury gave up six goals on 18 shots before being replaced to start the third period. Malcolm Subban had 12 stops in relief.NOTES: Both teams wore Humboldt Broncos decals on their helmet. The Flames also announced they were donating their $84,055 half of the 50/50 prize pot to those affected by Friday’s tragedy.UP NEXTGolden Knights: Face Los Angeles in the first round of the playoffs.Flames: Offseason.
