Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov were the game’s first and third stars.

The Lightning had their entire roster healthy and available for the first time in weeks and they parlayed that into a quality road win that lands them right on .600 win percentage pace. That’s exactly where you want to be, as a minimum, to comfortably make the postseason.

Conor Geekie had 2 penalty minutes and 1 shot in 7:00.

Mitchell Chaffee had 2 shots in 12:40 returning from injury.
