TAMPA, Fla. — On a Florida road trip against two streaking teams, the Ottawa Senators have been no pushovers at all. Mike Hoffman scored two goals and six other Ottawa players had multipoint games as the Senators beat Tampa Bay 7-4 on Tuesday night, ending the Lightning’s 10-game run without a regulation loss. The Lightning, however, allowed seven goals in a game for the first time since Jan. 12, 2015, at Philadelphia. “Playing a team coming in on a back-to-back and giving up seven goals … it’s unacceptable,” Tampa Bay defenceman Anton Stralman said. “It’s hard to win games giving up that many goals.”NOTES: Tampa Bay activated G Peter Budaj off injured reserve.
