| 15th November, 2007 - 9:36 am |  NHL.com - Vincent Lecavalier turned a slow start into a dominating performance.
Lecavalier had three goals and two assists to set a team record with his sixth consecutive multipoint game, leading the Tampa Bay Lightning past the Carolina Hurricanes 6-1 on Wednesday night.
Lecavalier scored twice and also assisted on goals by Paul Ranger and Martin St. Louis during a five-goal second period that put the Lightning ahead 5-0. The center, who has five goals and 11 points over his past six games, completed the hat trick with a short-handed breakaway goal with 5:09 remaining in the third.
"I couldn't find him in the first period," Tampa Bay Coach John Tortorella said. "It's unbelievable how he played in the second period."
Johan Holmqvist made 28 saves for the Lightning, who have won four in a row after a six-game skid. Tampa Bay also got a goal from Vinny Prospal. [READ] |
