Following a long day of celebrating the mythical Jose Gaspar, local Tampa hockey fans were treated to a fun night of hockey as the Lightning hosted the Vegas Golden Knights. Tampa Bay waited until the third to put the puck in the net, coming back from a two-goal deficit to take it to a shootout. Mark Stone had the deciding goal in the bonus section while Brett Howden and William Carrier scored in regulation. Ross Colton and Corey Perry had the markers for the Lightning.
Andrei Vasilevskiy had a busy first period, stopping 11 shots, but a light third as he only faced one shot.
