Ondrej Palat and Corey Perry were the game’s first and third stars.

That’s four in a row without Point and Kucherov for a team that has now run its record to .720 hockey and now sits just a spare two points back for the division lead. They’re sitting at 36 points meaning they’re already at the minimum points they need by the end of this segment with five games to spare. The opportunity to stack up a huge surplus of points is beckoning, and it’s beckoning to a team still finding ways to get W’s at 80-85% strength. The rest of the league should be terrified at the depth the Lightning are redeveloping as we speak.

Boris Katchouk was -1 with 2 penalty minutes, 1 shot, and 1 hit, in 10:22.

Taylor Raddysh was -1 with 1 shot in 12:44.
