Lightning staunch the bleeding with a payback beat down.
TB-5
PIT-1
Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed one goal on 29 shots for the victory. Really wish a certain forward had not turned the puck over at their own blueline creating the garbage time goal that cost Vasiy the SO.

Ondrej Palat, Vasilevskiy, and Mikhail Sergachev were the game’s three stars.
Now let’s see if they can turn this into a little streak. They have seven points through seven games. They still need five of the next six points to close out this segment on schedule. Let’s see if they can close that to three of the next four points.
Alex Barre-Boulet had a helper and was +1 with 2 penalty minutes and 1 hit in 9:52. I’d like to see him get some pucks on net moving forward.
Taylor Raddysh had 2 shots, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 8:49.
Ross Colton was +1 with 3 shots, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 13:14. He was also 50% on 8 draws.
