雷 目的(とする) to 勃発する during two-game 始める,決める vs. 星/主役にするs

The Tampa Bay 雷 will match up for two games over a three-day (期間が)わたる with the Dallas 星/主役にするs starting Saturday afternoon in the 孤独な 星/主役にする 明言する/公表する.

For the 雷, their season that continues to slip away from them can be defined by one word: turnovers.

Against the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday, Tampa Bay 得点する/非難する/20d twice in the first period and appeared to be on the way to breaking a two-game skid after coming off a 1-2-0 three-game road swing.

But those pesky turnovers -- 手渡すd over to one of the best 二人組s in ホッケー -- over the final 40 minutes sunk the 雷 4-2.

Pittsburgh 星/主役にする 今後s Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin took advantage of blue-line muffs to start 得点する/非難する/20ing 急ぐs, while Jeff Carter netted the game-勝利者 早期に in the third period.

To make it all worse, Tristan Jarry became the first Penguins goaltender to 得点する/非難する/20 a goal, hitting the heart of the empty 逮捕する with just over a minute left.

雷 captain Steven Stamkos and coach Jon Cooper said it was all about the turnovers.

"It's just 確かな times in games when we can make maybe a safer play," said Stamkos. "いつかs you get 保釈(金)d out, いつかs it's Crosby on a 脱退/分離 or Malkin on a two-on-one -- world-class players. That was the difference tonight."

Cooper's club, which ended up 6-7-2 in November, will have to take a postseason approach in the remaining 58 matches.

"Would you make those 決定/判定勝ち(する)s in a プレーオフ game or are you making them in Game 24?" Cooper mused. "That point has 攻撃する,衝突する us now: We're going to have to 扱う/治療する every game like a プレーオフ game or we won't be there."

Tampa Bay swept both matches last season with Dallas and has won nine of 12 会合s since 2021.

一方/合間, Dallas had a chance to move within one point of the first-place Colorado 雪崩/(抗議などの)殺到 in the Central 分割, but like the 雷, the 星/主役にするs let a 勝利,勝つ get away Thursday, though the letdown occurred much later.

Coach Pete DeBoer's team led the 大多数 of the third period over the Calgary 炎上s に引き続いて Mason Marchment's 刑罰,罰則-発射 一致する at 1:49, but the 炎上s' MacKenzie Weegar evened it at 3 with 2:41 remaining.

Nazem Kadri 完全にするd the 4-3 決起大会/結集させる with an overtime game-勝利者 past 星/主役にするs goalie Scott Wedgewood 61 seconds into the 開会/開廷/会期.

Dallas の近くにd out its two-game western Canada road trip with three points (1-0-1) and will 直面する the 雷 in Dallas on Saturday and Tampa on Monday.

"Those 勢い 転換s, I would have liked to have us play with a little more 圧力 when we had the lead," said DeBoer.

"We're at the end of a road trip here and we sat 支援する a little too much and gave them a little bit too much room. Still thought we could have の近くにd it out."

追加するd Wedgewood, "A lead with whatever, under five (minutes) to go when they 得点する/非難する/20d that other one, it feels like a little bit of one that slipped away again."

Marchment's successful 刑罰,罰則 発射 was the first one for the team since Denis Gurianov 得点する/非難する/20d on Montreal's Carey Price on Nov. 2, 2019.

Joe Pavelski 延長するd his point streak to eight games (five goals, four 補助装置s) for the 星/主役にするs.
