Andrei Vasilevskiy's Shutout Leads Lightning to 4-0 Victory over Devils, Extending Winning Streak to Five

Saturday, November 16th, 2024

In an impressive display, Andrei Vasilevskiy achieved his 36th career shutout, steering the Tampa Bay Lightning to a dominant 4-0 win over the New Jersey Devils.

Vasilevskiy, the quickest goalie to attain 300 NHL victories, thwarted numerous attempts by Jesper Bratt and Nico Hischier during the second period.

The Lightning initiated the scoring with a distant wrist shot by Nick Paul. Darren Raddysh increased the lead in the third, followed by a power-play goal from Victor Hedman. Anthony Cirelli added an empty-net goal to finalize the victory.

This triumph marked Tampa Bay's fifth successive win against New Jersey, bringing their record to 5-3-1 over the last nine matches.

Jacob Markstrom recorded 22 saves for New Jersey, who had secured two road wins before this match.

Key Observations: The Devils faced a shutout for the third time this month, in spite of ranking as the second-highest scoring team in the NHL. The Lightning have scored first in their past nine games, winning five and drawing one. Cirelli's faceoff win enabled Raddysh's goal, offering a crucial cushion for Tampa Bay. Vasilevskiy improved his career stats against New Jersey to 9-5-0.

On the Horizon: The Devils will host Carolina on Thursday, while the Lightning will visit Pittsburgh on Tuesday.
