The Tampa Bay Lightning have been a wagon all year long. They’re four lines deep, have great defensemen and own the number one goalie on the planet right now. But on Tuesday night, they finally met their match in the Vegas Golden Knights.
Tampa came to Las Vegas winning seven straight games while the Knights won seven out of their last eight. Both teams are red-hot, and it had all the makings of a great hockey game. And boy did it sure live up to the hype.
It was a classic matchup in goal between Andrei Vasilevskiy for Tampa Bay and Marc-Andre Fleury for Vegas.
