Final - OT
for this game
Lightning still searching for first victory
Oct 21, 2008 - 12:37 PM Atlanta (2-2-1) at Tampa Bay (0-2-3), 7:30 p.m. EDTTAMPA, Florida (Ticker) -- The Tampa Bay Lightning are still looking to get into the win column more than two weeks after the season started.
Tampa Bay hopes to break through on Tuesday when it hosts the Atlanta Thrashers at the St. Pete Times Forum.
Under new coach Barry Melrose, the Lightning have lost all five of their games by one goal. The last three defeats have all come beyond regulation, including Saturday's 1-0 shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild.
The Lightning are one of two winless teams left in the NHL along with the Philadelphia Flyers (0-3-2).
Goaltender Mike Smith recorded the seventh shutout of his career in Saturday's setback and the Lightning outshot the Wild, 32-21, marking the first game Tampa Bay has outshot the opposition this season.
The Thrashers are coming off a 3-2 shootout victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday, when Ilya Kovalchuk and Slava Kozlov scored in the bonus format.
Bryan Little tallied his team-leading fourth goal in the win.
Atlanta won the last six meetings with Tampa Bay last season.
