The Lightning beat the Rangers on Thursday night.
"That was a good hockey game." Lightning coach Jon Cooper said."To me, you could have inserted that for any one of the playoff games last year. It was wildly entertaining. Goalies were making saves, guys were getting chances, posts were ringing at both sides of the ice.""They're a veteran team," New York coach Gerard Gallant said of the Lightning."They work hard. You know what they're going to bring every night.
Zibanejad got his ninth goal in nine games against Vasilevskiy to open the scoring from the high slot 14:25 into the game. Tampa Bay's Brandon Hagel had a potential game-tying goal disallowed at 4:49 of the second. The left wing grabbed the puck off Shesterkin's blocker with his glove and threw the puck toward the net. It was ruled an illegal hand pass.
Stamkos hit the crossbar early in the third and remains three goals away from becoming the 47th NHL player to reach the 500 mark. The Lightning captain has gone six straight games without a goal.
