On Thursday night, the Tampa Bay Lightning routed the Toronto Maple Leafs 8-1, looking more like the championship-caliber team many expect them to be. Alex Killorn, Ross Colton, Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, Ondrej Palat, and Pat Maroon scored for the Lightning. Ilya Mikheyev scored the lone goal for Toronto. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 35 of 36 shots, while Erik Kallgren stopped 28 of 36. The Lightning went 4-for-6 on the power-play while Toronto went 1-for-5. Brayden Point and Auston Matthews both missed tonight’s game with undisclosed injuries. This game marked the most goals scored by Tampa Bay this season and the most goals allowed by Toronto since 2016.
