We’ll keep it short tonight. The Lightning won, Zemgus Girgensons scored, and the Lightning head into the 4 Nations Face-Off with a four-game winning streak (all against division foes) and a five-game point point streak. Andrei Vasilevskiy bailed them out again with another 32 saves, including a key stop on Josh Anderson’s penalty shot in the first period, in the Bolts 5-3 win.
While it wasn’t a carbon-copy of their win against Detroit on Saturday, there were a lot of similarities, namely they were opportunistic with their scoring (5 goals on 21 shots), some depth scoring as well as a goal from a blueliner, and they were on the wrong side of the possession game.
