For once, we didn’t jinx the Tampa Bay Lightning by waxing poetically about the play of Andrei Vasilevskiy in our preview this morning. The Bolts netminder continued his stellar play as he posted a 27-save shutout against the Calgary Flames as the Lightning ended their home stand with a 3-0 win. With the victory, the Lightning end the month of February with a 7-0-1 record.
It wasn’t the prettiest game for either team as sloppy play on both ends was the dominating characteristic for most of the night. Pucks in skates and missed connections on passes doesn’t lead to much offense.
