Lightning Extend Point Streak to 14 as Hagel Scores Twice in 4-1 Win

The surge pushes Tampa Bay into the Eastern Conference lead, sharpening midseason pressure across teams chasing playoff spots.

Overview

  • Tampa Bay extended its run to 14 straight games with at least a point by beating San Jose 4-1, as Brandon Hagel scored twice to reach 25 goals and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 22 saves.
  • Carolina rookie goaltender Brandon Bussi moved to 18-3-1, setting the NHL mark for most wins in a goalie’s first 22 starts, in a 2-1 win over Buffalo.
  • Dallas snapped Boston’s six-game winning streak with a 6-2 victory, a result that shuffled wild-card positioning.
  • Vegas acquired defenseman Rasmus Andersson from Calgary for Zach Whitecloud and draft capital, including a first-round pick and a conditional second that could become a first if the Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup.
  • Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark said his ongoing leave is for mental health after experiencing panic attacks, and there is no timetable for his return.
