A Kucherov empty netter quickly ensued, but the goal was called back after a review deemed the play offside. At last, Nick Paul was able to make it official with an empty-net goal with 1:46 left to play, sealing the Bolts’ fifth-straight win.

The Tampa Bay Lightning hope to pick up where they left off before the 4 Nations Face-Off break. Winners of an Eastern Conference-high four straight games, the Lightning will re-start their season on Sunday evening by hosting the Seattle Kraken.
