The wild opening frame marked the first time two teams notched seven-plus goals in a first period since March 16, 2023.
The four goals scored through the first 7:08 marked the fastest time that teams had combined for that many goals this season.
The Rangers had not scored four goals in a first period since April 10 against the Islanders.
Will Cuylle, J.T. Miller, Alexis Lafrenière and Will Borgen scored for the Rangers, while Scott Sabourin, Zemgus Girgensons and Jake Guentzel were the goal scorers for the Lightning.
The Rangers’ offensive output has been hit-or-miss this season, with the team struggling to find the back of the net, particularly at home, but finding more success away from Madison Square Garden.
The Rangers have now scored at least four goals in three of their last four games — including on Wednesday night — with the only game that they failed to do so being a shutout loss to the Islanders at MSG on Saturday.
The Rangers entered Wednesday’s game with an 8-7-2 record and sitting sixth in the Metropolitan Division.
