Tampa Bay finally gets some payoff.

TB-3
Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped all 28 shots he faced for the shutout victory.

Second Period
NO SCORING
Third Period
15:39 TB Hagel (22), (Kucherov)
18:43 TB Cirelli (19), (Hagel)(SH)(EN)
Vasilevskiy and Brandon Hagel were the game’s first and second stars.
Defensively one of the tightest games the Lightning have played all year and they remained disciplined despite LA’s goaltender Rittich making a lot of quality stops and eventually got the insurance goal.
Declan Carlile had 1 hit in 14:19.
Gage Goncalves had a helper and was +1 with 1 shot and 1 blocked shot in 12:38. One of his better NHL games this season.
