Though the Lightning committed far too many turnovers for head coach Jon Cooper’s liking, Jake Guentzel scored an insurance into an empty net, goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy posted his fifth shutout of the season and the Lightning improved to 31-1-1 when leading after two periods.

The Flyers had a four-minute power play chance at 11:38 of the second period trailing by a goal when Emil Lilleberg was called for a double minor for high-sticking. Not only did the Lightning hold Philadelphia off the scoreboard during the power play, Tampa Bay outshot the Flyers 2-0.

Nikita Kucherov had a goal and an assist for the Lightning (39-23-5), who won their second in a row and pulled within two points of the Florida Panthers for first place in the Atlantic Division with a game in hand. Tampa Bay lost to Philadelphia 4-3 in a shootout on Thursday.
