Nikita Kucherov played a pivotal role with two assists, helping the Tampa Bay Lightning secure a 3-1 win over the St. Louis Blues. Anthony Cirelli, Gage Goncalves, and Nick Perbix found the net for the Lightning, who have now won six of their last seven games. Andrei Vasilevskiy was solid in goal with 31 saves.

Pavel Buchnevich scored for St. Louis, but their struggles continued as they faced back-to-back regulation losses under new head coach Jim Montgomery.
