SUNRISE, Florida (Ticker) -- The Tampa Bay Lightning can only hope they get production like this from their special teams once the regular season starts.

Chris Gratton, Robert Petrovicky and Vincent Lecavalier scored power-play goals and the Lightning killed all nine shorthanded situations in a 4-2 exhibition victory over the Florida Panthers.

Petrovicky's second preseason goal with 3:40 remaining forged a 2-2 tie and Lecavalier gave the Lightning their first lead of the game 84 seconds later. Shawn Burr scored into an empty net with 21 seconds to play.

Jaroslav Spacek and Ivan Novoseltsev had goals for Florida, which dropped to 0-3-1 in the preseason. Sean Burke went the distance, stopping 26 shots.

Panthers superstar Pavel Bure has yet to play in the preseason but is expected to dress for two of the final three exhibition games.
