It may not have been their prettiest win of the season, but it was, at least in the words of their head coach, “it was a pretty damn good effort”, as the Tampa Bay Lightning picked up their fourth win on their five-game road trip, defeating the Dallas Stars, 4-1. Andrei Vasilevskiy earned first star of the game honors with a 19-save effort, highlighted by stoning Jason Robertson on a breakaway in the waning seconds of the first period with the score tied at one.
