Brandon Hagel got the Lightning on the board with 3:22 left in the first period, his18th goal of the season coming in front of the Carolina net. Defenseman Darren Raddysh floated a backhand shot from the right half of the offensive blueline, and Hagel’s second rebound rip went through Kochetkov for the 1-0 lead.
