The Lightning opened a weekend back-to-back with a 1-0 road victory over the New York Islanders. The goalies stole the show tonight, keeping the game scoreless all the way to the shootout. Victor Hedman was the only player on either team to find the net, finally giving the Lightning the win in the first round of the shootout.
The game was even in terms of shots and expected goals for most of the night. Neither team ever established dominance and both had plenty of chances during regulation. But this game was all about Thomas Greiss and Andrei Vasilevskiy, with Vasy coming out ahead at the very end.
