Nikita Kucherov had a goal and an assist for Tampa Bay, but it wasn’t enough on Friday night as the Lightning fell 3-2 on the road to the St. Louis Blues in a shootout. Tampa Bay fell behind 2-0 in a 30-second span late in the first period before climbing back into the game on power-play markers from Kucherov and Oliver Bjorkstrand midway through the second period. The Lightning haven’t lost in regulation since Dec. 18.
The Stars fell to 2-5-4 in their last 11 games with a 2-1 road loss to the Utah Mammoth on Thursday night. Mikko Rantanen tied the game with a power-play goal 2:04 into the third period before Utah reclaimed the lead less than two minutes later to skate off with the win.
The Lightning can finish off a season sweep of Dallas after claiming a 2-1 overtime win at home on Oct. 30. Kucherov leads Tampa Bay with 24 goals and 69 points, while Brandon Hagel has 22 markers. Andrei Vasilevskiy is 19-7-3 in 29 starts with a shutout, a .914 save percentage, and 2.26 goals against average.
