Athletistic / Hockey. The Tampa Bay Lightning hosted the Boston Bruins last night in an NHL regular season home game. The match ended with a victory for the home team with a score of 3:1.
The Lightning scored goals from Mitchell Chaffee, Brayden Point, as well as Russian forward Nikita Kucherov, who hit the already empty opponent’s goal. Danton Heinen scored the Bears’ only goal.
One of the main heroes of the match was Tampa goalkeeper Andrei Vasilevsky. The 29-year-old Russian stopped 23 of 24 shots in his possession and also had an assist on Kucherov’s goal.
Note that Nikita Kucherov scored his 124th point (42+82) this season and once again became the only leader in the NHL scoring race.
Tampa after 72 matches has scored 87 points and is in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings. Boston has scored 99 points in 74 games and is second in the East.
