Tampa Bay punches its ticket to the postseason in style.

First Period

Second Period
3:42 TB Jeannot (6), (Bellemare, Cole)
9:57 TB Kucherov (29), (Point, Sergachev)

Third Period
13:26 TB Point (48), (Kucherov, Killorn)(PP)
Vasilevskiy, Brayden Point, and Darren Raddysh were the game’s three stars.
But for Mikhail Sergachev leaving the game with a knock, this was kind of a perfect evening for the Lightning who beat the brakes off a pretty bitter rival organization. Somewhere Ed Olczyk is weeping.
Darren Raddysh had two helpers, the first two points of his NHL career, and was +3. He also had two penalty minutes and four hits in 21:54. To my untrained eyes, looking at his usage, he’s passed both Perbix and Bogosian on the depth chart in the last week or so.
