Lightning find their groove with 8-3 win over Flames

A game after the Tampa Bay Lightning were held to just one goal for only the second time this season, the offense returned in an 8-3 victory over the Calgary Flames. Nikita Kucherov posted a 6-point night while Jake Guentzel posted his eighth career hat trick.

Brandon Hagel’s 13th goal of the season provided a two-goal lead for the Bolts just a minute into the final period, sparking a four-goal third period that cemented the game. With another multi-point game, Kucherov tied Marty St. Louis for second-most multi-point games in franchise history. In his 500th regular season game, Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 19 of 22 shots for his 306th career victory, the most any netminder in NHL history has won in their first 500 games.
