Lightning beat Panthers 4-1 behind strong performance from Andrei Vasilevskiy

Brayden Point snapped a 1-1 tie with a goal earlier in the third period as the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Florida Panthers, 4-1. The Bolts stymied the high-octane Florida offense by allowing just 25 shots with Andrei Vasilevskiy stopping 24 of them. Technically, the only puck that got behind him wasn’t even off of a Panthers’ stick as it was a goal that came off of Mikhail Sergachev’s shinpads.

Pat Maroon (!), Sergachev, and Steven Stamkos had the other goals for the Lightning while Zac Dalpe was credited with the deflected goal for the Panthers.
