Lightning dominate and eventually defeat Boston.
BOS-1
TB-3
Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed one goal on 24 shots for the victory. Made a couple of key situational saves in the first half of the game, and the work calmed down a bit the rest of the way.
First Period
10:06 TB Chaffee (4), (Paul, Eyssimont)
17:11 BOS Heinen (15), (Zacha)
Second Period
6:50 TB Point (42), (Lilleberg, Perbix)
Third Period
19:33 TB Kucherov (42), (Hedman, Vasilevskiy)(EN)
Vasilevskiy, Mitchell Chaffee, and Brayden Point were the game’s three stars.
Boston played a physical game against Sunrise last night, so there’s caveats on this. But, with all due respect, the Lightning dominated Boston tonight. Completely different team since the trade deadline. It’s been uncanny.
Chaffee had a goal and was +1 with 2 shots and 2 hits in 9:58. Put himself in good position to capitalize on Eyssimont’s excellent work all game.
Emil Lilleberg had a helper and was +1 with 1 shot, 5 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 18:06. His best game as a NHL’er at both ends of the rink tonight. Period.
