Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed four goals on 23 shots for the loss. At least two were goals you’d like him to do better on. He cannot be average or below average with this team in front of him.

Nick Paul was the game’s second star.
When/if the Lightning miss the playoffs by a handful of points, they’ll look back on a stretch like this and know this is when it happened. Horrible defensively and horribly limited offensively with replacement level (at best) goaltending.
Mitchell Chaffee had 2 shots and 5 hits in 12:28.
Cole Koepke had 2 shots and 1 hit in 5:59.
Emil Lilleberg was -1 with 1 shot in 13:02. 13:02 even after Fleury was injured.
