Defense fails, VGK loses to Lightning 6-3

The Golden Knights dropped a 6-3 decision to the Tampa Bay Lightning Thursday night at the Fortress.  VGK started off hot behind a pair of Ivan Barbashev goals.  They took a 2-0 lead.  Bruce Cassidy said it was the best opening period they have had.  Mith Marner was back skating with Jack Eichel on the top line. Marner collected three points on the night. After that, it was all Tampa. Nikita Kucherov countered with a 3-point game including two goals.  Up next the Anaheim Ducks come to town, the Pacific-division leaders.  They have a good mix of youth and veterans.  And, they score a lot of goals.  We also have our WTF segment.
