Vasilevskiy, Mikhail Sergachev, and Barclay Goodrow were the game’s three stars.
I get more excited seeing the Lightning win a game like this than I necessarily do some of those laugher blowouts. The Lightning were forced to grind out a win in a tighter checking game where they were protecting a one goal lead in the Third Period. And they did so with ruthless efficiency, allowing just four shots in the final frame. This is good.
Cal Foote was +1 with 1 shot in 8:15.
