Vasilevskiy, Pat Maroon, and Ondrej Palat were the game’s three stars.
That was supposed to be as close to the real thing roster-wise as you’re going to see in the preseason, and the Lightning ultimately handled their business. Maybe there will be a little hand wringing about the shot totals, but ultimately the Lightning capped their preseason successfully.
Taylor Raddysh was -1 with 2 penalty minutes and 1 shot in 10:31. He’ll await final cuts now.
Ross Colton had 1 shot and 2 hits in 16:15. He was also just 22% on 9 draws.
