You don’t say that about every player, and you certainly don’t give up an asset like that – a player Tampa Bay selected over Nashville defenseman Seth Jones in the 2013 draft – without some pause. The Lightning now sit a few points out of a playoff spot so this road trip is going to be critical. Only the triplets – Ondrej Palat (2.50), Tyler Johnson (2.46) and Nikita Kucherov (2.13) – produced points at a better rate and when compared to the rest of the National Hockey League, it’s tied for the 65th-highest mark.

With a lack of targets and a battered offensive line, Brady was sacked more than usual which led to the team losing the game. New England kicker Stephen Gostkowski was wide ride from 46 yards – only his third miss this year, and his shortest….

The Lightning recorded the first eight shots of the game and didn’t allow Minnesota to get off a shot until 15 minutes had passed in the first period. Wild LW Zach Parise returned to the lineup after missing Thursday’s game.

But pressing late, the Wild finally started controlling play, culminating in Jared Spurgeon’s overtime-forcing goal with 2 minutes, 49 seconds remaining. Vasilevskiy made several strong stops during the period, including a pad save on Parise.

It appears Drouin is on a short leash when he makes mistakes in games, which begs the question of whether Cooper trusts him. In March, Drouin was on the top line with Stamkos, with coach Jon Cooper saying Drouin earned it. But Drouin was a healthy scratch in 20 of the 26 playoff games as Jonathan Marchessault got in the lineup instead. “They got the better of us in the first two periods and they would get the puck and go cross ice”.

A season after putting up a career-best 63 points, Palat has just two goals and six assists in 2015-16, partly because he’s played in only 19 games.

Dubnyk stopped 28 shots in regulation.

Charlie Coyle scored the Wild’s first goal, a backhand from a sharp angle after Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy turned the puck over behind his net.

Allan Walsh, the agent for Drouin, acknowledged Sunday he has asked the Tampa Bay Lightning to trade his client. He has been slowed by injuries this season, scoring two goals in 19 games.
