Seeing Andrei Vasilevskiy with a save percentage below .900 is not something NHL fans are used to seeing. Making 10-bell saves with regularity is. On a night where he started the game with an .896 save percentage, Vasilevskiy put on a show against the Florida Panthers as he made 47 saves on 50 Panthers shots to backstop the Lightning to a 5-3 victory. Steven Stamkos scored twice and added two assists while Nikita Kucherov had a goal and an assist in the victory.
In a penalty-filled game the top two power plays in the league each finished the game 1-for-7.
