The Tampa Bay Lightning scored twice late in the third period to send the game to overtime, but Vladislav Gavrikov scored less than 30 seconds into the bonus frame to give the Los Angeles Kings a 4-3 victory. Brayden Point and Steven Stamkos had power play goals while Stamkos added a second with under a minute to go in regulation to tie things up. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 19 saves on the night.
It wasn’t a bad start for the Lightning as they managed a few quality chances. Mitchell Chaffee and Steven Stamkos were both able to slip the defense and have one-on-one looks with Cam Talbot only to have the goaltender swat them aside for two of his 22 saves on the night.
