Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 28 shots, Brandon Hagel scored two goals and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-0.

Vasilevskiy cleared a puck from behind his net to rookie forward Gage Goncalves on the right side of the defensive zone, who vaulted a backhand pass to Hagel just before center ice.

According to Benjamin Pierce of the Tampa Bay Lightning, goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy (illness) is viewed as a game-time decision on Thursday for their contest against the Los Angeles Kings. No. 2 goaltender Jonas Johansson (lower body) is also in questionable status for this game.

The Lightning finally had some breathing room. That proved to be important when the Kings received a power play at 17:03. They pulled Rittich for an extra attacker. The Lightning held Los Angeles to only one SOG during the six-on-four (a long-range attempt from Drew Doughty) before Cirelli tracked a Hagel clear and tallied an empty-netter at 18:43.

Andrei Vasilevskiy was back in action Thursday after missing a game with an illness. Now, backup Jonas Johansson is sidelined.

The Tampa Bay Lightning took a 3-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday at AMALIE Arena. Brandon Hagel gave the Lightning a 1-0 advantage 4:45 into the game with a slick move and bury on the rush, and he finished the night with three points.

After struggling to convert scoring changes, Tampa Bay has just 1 goal through the first 2 periods but makes it stick.

After a dreadful loss to the Chicago Blackhawks earlier this week, the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated a solid Los Angeles Kings team by a score of 3-0. The Lightning got an early lead in the first period and held on for the rest of the way through.
