The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Dallas Stars 3-1 on Saturday night extending their win streak to three games. Brayden Point, Ross Colton, and Alex Killorn scored for the Lightning while Esa Lindell recorded the lone goal for the Stars. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 19 of 20 shots. Anton Khudobin stopped 26 of 28 shots in his first start (second appearance) since being recalled from the AHL.
Overall, this was a very strong game from the Lightning even though there were hair-raising moments that elevated everyone’s heart rate. From an analytical perspective, though, this was never a close game.
