Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 45 shots, including four of five in the shootout as the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the New York Rangers 2-1 in the shootout. Brayden Point scored the only goal in regulation by the Bolts, but also scored in the shootout alongside Alex Killorn to help give the Lightning the win.
Vasilevskiy was not expected to start this game but was given the go ahead of Brian Elliott after a 25-save win over Montreal the night before. This ended up being the right decision as I don’t think the Lightning would’ve been able to hold back all of New York’s breakaways and rush chances without Vasy and his elite mobility.
