It took a little longer than most of the games in this stretch, but the Tampa Bay Lightning picked up their franchise-best 11th win in a row as they took down the Pittsburgh Penguins, 2-1, in a shootout. It was a goaltending battle as Andrei Vasilevskiy picked up his 350th career win by stopping 26-of-27 shots while Arturs Silovs matched him shot-for-shot in regulation with 30 saves.
It was a scoreless first period, something that the Lightning haven’t seen much of recently, but there was still some action. The Penguins were beneficiaries of two power plays, both compliments of Nikita Kucherov, and they generated a couple of chances, but Andrei Vasilevskiy and the penalty-killers were up to the task.
