Vasilevskiy was the game’s third star.
Am I upset that the Lightning coughed up what should’ve been a 1-0 victory on an unforgivably bad clearing attempt late in the game? A little. But, in early November, the most important thing was getting to 12 points in the first 10 games to stay on playoff pace. The Lightning accomplished that mission, so for this time of year I’m satisfied. 12 in 10. Do it again.
