Brandon Hagel and Steven Stamkos were the game’s first and second stars.
Complete squash. Total mismatch. Tampa Bay ends the third 10 game segment of the season on 41 points meaning they’ve banked five insurance points as far as postseason pacing goes.
Nick Perbix had a helper and was +1 with 2 shots and 1 hit in 16:31. They trimmed down his IT to more of his comfort zone, which right now feels like about 16-18 minutes and he responded well.
