Lightning back Vasilevskiy’s shutout with eight-goal outburst to beat Utah

The Tampa Bay Lightning celebrated the return of Mikhail Sergachev to Amalie Arena with another stirring tribute video. They then went out and dropped an eight-spot on Sergy’s new team as they continued their offensive explosion during their home stand with an 8-0 victory over the Utah Hockey Club.

Two Lightning goals were on the board before things got a little misty in the arena during the tribute. Jake Guentzel put home a rebound on Nikita Kucherov’s shot ninety seconds into the game. Victor Hedman followed it up three minutes later by snapping a shot from the left circle over the shoulder of Utah goaltender, Karel Vejmelka.
