Community Picks: St. Louis Blues 0% vs Ottawa Senators 0%

There were some amazing offensive performances on Tuesday, but Tyler Johnson’s hat trick stands out among them, in no small part thanks to his amazing third goal where he beat out Carolina’s Noah Hanifin in a race to the puck and then outmaneuvered Cam Ward at the crease. Believe it or not, that’s the Lightning’s first hat trick of the season, which is remarkable when you consider how good Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos have been this season.  Johnson’s goal also highlights the Lightning’s superb offensive depth this season as he has 16 goals and 34 points in 42 contests, but ranks just fifth on the team’s scoring race.  He’s also one of seven Tampa Bay players with at least 30 points through 43 games.  Contrast that with Tampa Bay’s opponent last night, Carolina, which has two players with at least 30 points and the Hurricanes’ points leader is Teuvo Teravainen with 11 goals and 35 points in 42 contests.
