LEAGUE-LEADING LIGHTNING REACH 100-POINT MARK

Nikita Kucherov tied the game in the third period and scored the decisive goal in the shootout as the League-leading Lightning (48-17-4, 100 points) extended their point streak to 10 games (9-0-1) and became the first team to reach the 100-point mark this season. The Lightning required the fewest games in franchise history to reach 100 points in a season (69 GP), eclipsing the mark of 77 contests set in 2014-15 (47-23-7, 101 points).

VASILEVSKIY MATCHES CLUB RECORD AS LIGHTNING EXTEND POINT STREAK

Andrei Vasilevskiy made 27 saves to become the second goaltender in franchise history to win 40 games in a season, backstopping the League-leading Lightning to their ninth consecutive game with a point (8-0-1).  Vasilevskiy (40-12-3), who became the first goaltender to reach 40 wins this season, reached the milestone for the first time in his NHL career. Ben Bishop is the only other goaltender in franchise history to post 40 wins in a season (40-13-5 in 2014-15).

[pb_vidembed title=”” caption=”” url=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8dKdTwMoTA” type=”yt” w=”480″ h=”385″]

Jets forward Patrik Laine scored his 40th goal of the season to extend his point streak to 11 games (15-6—21), a run that includes at least one goal in each of his last five outings.

Laine became the ninth different player in NHL history to reach the 40-goal mark in a season before celebrating his 20th birthday and just the third to do so in that last 32 years (since 1985-86), joining Rick Nash in 2003-04 (41 w/ CBJ) and Auston Matthews in 2016-17 (40 w/ TOR). Only two teenagers in NHL history have score more overall goals than Laine.

The Instigator |Episode 10

Bench Doors Closed

Listen to “The Instigator – Episode 10 – Bench Doors Closed” on Spreaker.

In the wake of young superstar Brock Boeser going down with an injury he suffered as he crashed into an open bench door. We ask the question, should there be a rule implemented that only allows bench doors to be open during stoppages in play?
