Conacher brought the Bolts back even at 8:13 of the final frame by finishing off an odd-man rush with Brett Connolly, but Stewart put the Blues back up by one just 1:50 later.

Still, Conacher's goal highlighted much of what has impressed the Tampa Bay coaching staff in the previous days at the team's training camp.

"I was happy to see him get rewarded," Boucher said. "He's been fighting every day in camp and I think he's making it evident that he wants to be here."

 

Conachar was also featured in a St. Petersberg Times article:
