Led by a big night by Alex Killorn, Tampa Bay took advantage of a rare off-night by Mike Smith. Killorn had two goals and two assists to tie a career high for points as the Lightning struck for five unanswered goals, including four in the third period, in a 7-4 win over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night. Down 4-3 after two periods, Tampa Bay tied it 12 seconds into the third when Killorn pounced on a loose puck near the Flames face-off dot, spun and sent a backhander on net that slipped past Smith. Killorn's line with rookies Matthew Peca (one goal, two assists) and Yanni Gourde (two assists) combined for nine points. Cory Conacher scored on a sharp angle at 5:16 to give the Lightning the lead for good at 5-4.
