Penalties and bad luck conspire against Tampa Bay to conclude roadie.
TB-2
WPG-4
Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 19 shots for the loss. Two 5-on-3 goals can hardly be faulted, especially given he’s coming off a pretty bad bug that kept him out last night.

Anthony Cirelli was the game’s third star.
You potentially had some sort of bug running through the locker room. You had Hedman leaving the team to go home with his expectant wife. And then you complicate things by having to try to kill two 5-on-3’s, one of which was really a 5-on-2 when Sergachev broke his stick. It was just too much altogether. I wasn’t unhappy with the effort, outshooting Winnipeg 28-20, but it was just too much to overcome.
Nick Perbix had 3 shots and 1 blocked shot in 17:17.
