4. Finally Getting Something from Down the Lineup

The Lightning have not gotten much from their depth in this series. Through three games, they did not get any goals out of their bottom six forwards as their top guys and powerplay were  just about their only source of offense.

If they wanted to keep playing, that would have to change at some point and it did early in game four. Pat Maroon buried a rebound after Zach Bogosian dangled his way toward the Ranger net. That same combination clicked in game four against Florida for the series clinching goal.

Getting a goal from your fourth line always provides a jolt of energy to your team and they provided the jolt the Lightning needed in this game.
