OK, I'm officially concerned with how the team is performing on the road.

TB-1
NYR-3

Johan Holmqvist played well stopping 32 of 35 shots in the loss, although he had the benefit of several posts and crossbars.

First Period
NY Rangers 7:40, Nigel Dawes 3 (Paul Mara, Brendan Shanahan)

Second Period
Tampa Bay 6:28, Vincent Lecavalier 6 (penalty shot)

Third Period
NY Rangers 10:45, Jaromir Jagr 3 (power play) (Michal Rozsival, Chris Drury)
NY Rangers 13:29, Brendan Shanahan 2 (power play) (Chris Drury, Jaromir Jagr)

The Lightning were outshot 35-22 and looked slow, flat, and disorganized. It's been a common thread in all their road games this season. I smell a team meeting.

Mike Lundin played 15:15 with 1 shot on goal.

Mathieu Darche played 12:05 with 1 shot and 2 hits.

Dan Boyle played 11:38 with 1 hit in his return, primarily on the power play.
