The rest of the NHL should be trembling tonight.
CGY-1
TB-4
Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed one goal on 27 shots for the victory. With the Lightning’s possession advantage, he frankly didn’t have much work until he was sitting on a four goal lead.

Nikita Kucherov, Vasilevskiy, and Ryan McDonagh were the game’s three stars.
Calgary is a pretty solid team, especially defensively, and there’s a few people even talking them up as a darkhorse to emerge from the Western Conference. They got absolutely dominated tonight. They barely saw the puck and with the special ingredient of Nikita Kucherov added, the Lightning offense had a dimension of imagination that it’s perhaps lacked for a while. And they already had the highest point total in the league even without Kucherov. Only a fool would be sleeping on the Lightning right now.
Boris Katchouk had 7 penalty minutes, 1 shot, and 4 hits in 6:30.
Taylor Raddysh had 2 penalty minutes and 1 hit in 7:57.
Cal Foote had 1 shot, 4 hits, and 2 blocked shots in 13:34.
