Andrei Vasilevskiy delivered a stellar performance with 27 saves, securing his fourth shutout of the season and 38th of his career, leading the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 3-0 win over the Calgary Flames on Thursday night. This victory marked the Lightning's seventh consecutive win, the longest streak since early 2020. Nikita Kucherov opened the scoring late in the first period, with Erik Cernak and Brandon Hagel adding to the tally. Despite a strong showing from Calgary's Dustin Wolf, the Flames faced their third shutout of the season.

Key moments included a critical save from Vasilevskiy early in the second period, denying a rebound chance from Jonathan Huberdeau while the Flames were on a power play. This win emphasizes Tampa Bay's dominance when leading after two periods, improving their record to 20 consecutive victories in such scenarios.
