It was another close game between the two teams, but the Tampa Bay Lightning’s woes in the Twin Cities continued as they dropped yet another game to the Minnesota Wild, 5-3. They did manage to score twice on the power play, but couldn’t overcome Kirill Kaprizov’s three-point night. The Lightning are now 3-12-0-2 all time in Minnesota.
Brayden Point and Jake Guentzel had the power play goals for Tampa Bay while Nick Paul scored late to give the Lightning a chance. Andrei Vasilevskiy’s quest for 300 wins will have to wait another game as he finished with 17 saves on 20 shots.
