Vasilevskiy a Difference Maker in Win
Andrei Vasilevskiy made 47 saves Saturday in a 5-3 win over the Panthers. The win belongs to Vasilevskiy. The Bolts went up 4-0 by the 6:59 mark of the second period, but then the Panthers woke up and outshot the Bolts 37-3 from that moment forward. Vasy was a machine the rest of the way and is the main reason Tampa Bay got the victory. It was his third straight win and his fourth in his last five starts.
Pietrangelo Gathers Helper in Sunday’s Win
Alex Pietrangelo logged an assist, five blocked shots, two shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday’s 3-1 win over the Devils. Pietrangelo has chipped in three assists and 17 blocks over his last five outings. The 34-year-old defenseman set up William Carrier’s game-tying goal early in the third period. Pietrangelo is up to 32 points, 137 shots on net, 155 blocks and a minus-5 rating through 62 outings overall. He continues to play on the top pairing and has meshed quickly with Noah Hanifin, leaving Alec Martinez to compete for a bottom-four role.
