Tampa, Fla. ? Resilient, even in defeat.

That’s been the story of the playoffs for the Tampa Bay Lightning, who will have to rebound at least one more time to keep their NHL title hopes alive after losing Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals, 3-2 in overtime, Thursday night.

Calgary returns home for Game 6 on Saturday night, leading the best-of-seven series 3-2 — but not without being pushed to the limit by the Lightning, who rallied from one-goal deficits twice to force the overtime.

“It’s heartbreaking when you’re just one shot away,” defenseman Jassen Cullimore said.

Goalie Nikolai Khabibulin was brilliant much of the night, making save after save to redeem himself for not making what should have been a routine stop on Jarome Iginla’s goal that gave Calgary a 2-1 lead late in the second period.

But with the game on the line, there was nothing the Tampa Bay standout could do to stop Oleg Saprykin from scoring in a scramble in front of the net.

Now, the Lightning have to win Game 6 on the road to avoid elimination.

“The pressure’s on us, but we’ve got to go in there and win,” forward Chris Dingman said. “Every time we’ve been down, we’ve found a way to bounce back, and we’re going to have to do it again. … Obviously, there’s a lot of pressure. We’ve got to be loose and just play.”

There is plenty of hope.

Khabibulin is 6-0 in these playoffs following a loss, including a 1-0 shutout in Game 4, and the Lightning have alternated wins and losses for a playoff-record 12 consecutive games. If that trend holds, Game 7 will be in Tampa on Monday night.

Injuries have taken their toll on the Lightning in the series, but three key players who were question marks after Game 3 — Vincent Lecavalier, Pavel Kubina and Ruslan Fedotenko — all played.
