Brayden Point's goal and two assists contributed to the Tampa Bay Lightning's 5-1 win over the Florida Panthers, with Nikita Kucherov also scoring. The Lightning dominated the first period with three goals, while Andrei Vasilevskiy made 23 saves. Brad Marchand scored the lone goal for the Panthers, who are set to face the Lightning in the upcoming playoffs.
Tampa Bay's Conor Geekie, Jake Guentzel, and Darren Raddysh also found the net in the game. Kucherov's performance marked his third career season with at least 120 points, a feat achieved by only 14 players in NHL history. The Lightning will conclude their regular season against the New York Rangers, while the Panthers prepare for their playoff series against Tampa Bay.
