TAMPA, Fla. — Andrei Vasilevskiy made 31 saves for his 35th career shutout and the Tampa Bay Lightning ended the Washington Capitals' five-game winning streak with a 3-0 victory on Saturday night. Vasilevskiy was at his best in the second period, stopping all 16 shots he faced. He robbed Pierre-Luc Dubois and Dylan Strome late in the period — and got some help from the post on another shot by Dubois. Mitchell Chaffee, Brayden Point and Conor Geekie scored for the Lightning. Nikita Kucherov extended his season-opening point streak to eight games with the primary assist on Point's goal.
