Another player who fits the Lightning’s needs is Chicago forward Ryan Donato. Donato’s 17 even-strength goals are tied for 11th in the NHL despite averaging just 12:55 of ice time. His 1.34 goals per 60 minutes ranks seventh in the league among players with 50 games or more.
Tage Thompson scored his 32nd and 33rd goals of the season in the win.
Henri Jokiharju scored 9:31 into the third period to give the Buffalo Sabres a comeback win against the Ducks, who lost a two-goal lead.
