Day of rest

With the Lightning coming off a double-overtime victory in Game 1 on Friday two days after an emotional Game 7 win against the Red Wings, it took a much-needed day off Saturday. RW Ryan Callahan (far left) said it was good to "clear your head." D Matt Carle watched a couple of hockey games. "I spent most of the day pretty much horizontal," he said.
