Lightning rally back, but fall short at the buzzer in 4-3 loss to Winnipeg

The Tampa Bay Lightning fell 4-3 to the Winnipeg Jets after Mark Scheifele scored a power-play goal with one second remaining in regulation. Winnipeg initially built a 3-0 lead behind goals from Cole Perfetti, Morgan Barron, and Brandon Yager. Tampa Bay mounted a third-period comeback led by Pontus Holmberg's two goals before Scheifele's last-second tally sealed the Jets' victory.

Tampa Bay entered the matchup on the second night of a back-to-back and suffered an early setback when forward Brayden Point exited with an injury in the first period. Although Yanni Gourde returned from injured reserve, Point's absence left Tampa Bay with only 10 forwards for the remainder of the contest.
