This is the second time this season that the Tampa Bay Lightning have had a 1 pm start at the Wells Fargo Center, home of the Philadelphia Flyers. The last time the Lightning were here, Vasilevskiy had a 3-0 shutout, his second shutout in a row. The Lightning got goals from Tyler Johnson, Ondrej Palat, and Jonathan Drouin.
The Lightning also suffered several injuries through the game. Brayden Point had his lip cut by his face shield. Drouin went to the quiet room after being checked in the head (a hit that went uncalled), but returned to get the third goal of the game.
