The Tampa Bay Lightning secured a 4-2 victory against the Vancouver Canucks, with Jake Guentzel scoring a crucial power-play goal late in the third period. Guentzel's goal was initially disallowed for a hand pass but was later confirmed after review. Brayden Point had an impressive performance, contributing two goals and two assists, marking his 300th career assist, while Nikita Kucherov added a goal and two assists after returning from injury. The Lightning's goaltender, Andrei Vasilevskiy, made 22 saves, and the team has now won 11 of their last 13 games against Vancouver.
