The Tampa Bay Lightning entered tonight’s game against the Dallas Stars on a five game win streak after beating them 2-1 on Tuesday night. Andrei Vasilevskiy was personally on a 12 game win streak, a franchise record. He was just two games away from tying the NHL record of 14 games. Unfortunately, the Lightning showed some fatigue from the grueling schedule they’ve been on and could not keep up with the Stars playing their fourth game in six days.
One bit of news came down from the team right as warm ups started; defenseman Erik Cernak was to be out of the game with a lower body injury.
