Even good teams need their goalie to steal a few points every once in a while. On Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Lightning managed a season-low 19 shots on goal and spent large portions of the game in their own zone against the Dallas Stars. They still emerged with their fifth win in a row thanks mostly, no thanks totally, to netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy. The Bolts goaltender stopped all 28 shots he faced on his way to his third shutout in a row.
Ondrej Palat provided the only offense needed with a first period power-play goal while Yanni Gourde sealed the victory with a late empty-net goal.
