Lightning's win streak ends at hands of New Jersey Devils

NEWARK, N.J. _ The streak is over. The Lightning tied their franchise record with 10 straight wins but couldn't get No. 11, falling to the Devils 3-1 on Sunday.

Goalie Louis Domingue played against his former team for the first time since a November trade and allowed only the one goal on 27 shots.

Tyler Johnson struck first in the game, early in the second period. Anthony Cirelli made a good play to keep the puck in the zone as the Devils tried to clear it. Victor Hedman picked up the loose puck and sent it across the ice to Johnson, who flipped a shot up off Domingue and into the net.

Andy Greene tied the score at 1 a few minutes later on a shot from the point that got through traffic and beat Curtis McElhinney cleanly on his glove side. That ended the Lightning's shutout streak at 145:55, going back to Tuesday's game against the Canucks.

Travis Zajac put the Devils on top midway through the second on a deflection of Nikita Gusev's shot.

The Devils appeared to go up by two in the third when a Gusev shot got past McElhinney. The Lightning (27-14-4) challenged for goalie interference, and the league ruled that Blake Coleman had interfered with McElhinney.

Miles Wood landed an empty-netter with 0.9 seconds left.
