Lightning break out of funk with 7-1 win over Sharks

After five consecutive one goal games of which they lost four, the Lightning left nothing to chance tonight putting a 7-1 drumming on the Sharks. This was a classic Lightning performance as they played well enough in terms of shot metrics but augmented that with good finishing and good goaltending. You may have read the article on Friday where we highlighted Andrei Vasilevskiy’s struggles as the primary reason for the team’s slow start. He was a big part of this victory posting one of his best games of the season allowing just the one goal on 38 shots.
