Not all of the Lightning’s victories this year will deserve a spot in the Louvre, but even the smear of a four-year old’s paint on some construction paper begrudgingly pinned to the refrigerator door is worth two points in the NHL, and the Lightning earned those two points with a 3-1 victory over the St. Louis Blues. Nikita Kucherov picked up two points while Gage Goncalves scored his first career goal in the NHL.
In net, Andrei Vasilevskiy was busier than one would expect, but he was up to the task, stopping 31 of 32 shots for the victory.
