Andrei Vasilevskiy recorded his 35th career shutout, leading the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 3-0 victory over the Washington Capitals, halting their five-game winning streak.
Vasilevskiy excelled, particularly in the second period, stopping 16 shots and making crucial saves against Pierre-Luc Dubois and Dylan Strome. Mitchell Chaffee, Brayden Point, and Conor Geekie contributed to the Lightning's scoring, with Geekie netting his first NHL goal.
Despite Alex Ovechkin's history against Tampa Bay, he was limited to just two shots. The Capitals struggled on the power play, continuing a trend of inefficiency.
