The Tampa Bay Lightning fell to the Florida Panthers in their third preseason match. Although it was technically the first time the in-state rivals met this season, the only thing on the line is roster spots for guys called up from AHL squads.
Jansen Harkins played his previous two seasons with the Anaheim Ducks and bounced around AHL squads in the two seasons before that. He scored two goals last night, which puts him in a good position to claim a roster spot.
