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.
