TAMPA, Fla. — Alex Killorn beat Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin in the sixth round of the shootout, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made it stand up by stopping Adam Fox for the Lightning’s 2-1 shootout win over New York on Thursday night at Amalie Arena.
Vasilevskiy, starting games on back-to-back days for the first time since Games 3 and 4 of the second round of the playoffs in May against the Panthers, stopped 45 of the 46 shots he faced.
Brayden Point had put the Lightning in that spot. He scored his third goal in the last two games 5:32 into the third period, banking a pass from Steven Stamkos off the pads of Shesterkin to tie the score at 1.
