Overview

• Jaycob Lilleberg opened the scoring late in the first period, and Mitchell Chaffee tipped in a second-period shot from Lilleberg for Tampa Bay's second.
• Logan Stankoven narrowed the gap with a third-period power-play deflection after a Kevin LaBanc goal was overturned for offside on Tyson Jost.
• Carolina finished with a 30-20 shots advantage but was repeatedly denied by Johansson in his preseason debut.
• The third period turned chippy with multiple 10-minute misconducts as both sides leaned into physical play and special-teams reps.
• Next up: the Lightning visit the Predators on Tuesday, Sept. 23, and the Hurricanes host the Panthers on Wednesday, Sept. 24, as evaluations continue.
