Lightning win special teams battle and game as they defeat Panthers, 4-1

The Tampa Bay Lightning scored three times on the power play (despite not having Brayden Point) to propel themselves to a 4-1 win in Game One of their second round series against the Florida Panthers. Corey Perry, Nikita Kucherov, and Ross Colton scored with the extra skater while Pierre-Edouard Bellemare had the game-winner at even strength. Anthony Duclair scored the lone goal for the Panthers.

Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 33-of-34 shots in another excellent outing. The defense in front of him did a good job of keeping the shooting lanes clear and cleaning up any of the rebounds he had.
