The Tampa Bay Lightning secured a 2-0 victory against the Philadelphia Flyers, thanks to a stellar performance from goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy, who recorded his sixth shutout of the season and 39th career shutout. Nikita Kucherov opened the scoring with a breakaway goal, and Jake Guentzel added an empty-netter, giving him the league lead in power-play goals. The Lightning have now won eight of their last nine home games, while the Flyers have struggled, suffering back-to-back shutouts and losing seven of their last eight games.

Vasilevskiy faced 21 shots, demonstrating excellent form as he ties Jocelyn Thibault for 49th on the all-time shutout list. The Flyers, despite a four-minute power play opportunity, were unable to capitalize and went 0 for 5 on the night, extending their power play drought to 0 for 23. Kucherov has been particularly effective at home against the Flyers, recording points in ten consecutive games against them. With this victory, Tampa Bay continues to establish itself as a formidable force heading into the latter part of the season.
