Hagel made it 2-0 at 15:39 of the third period after sending a pass to a streaking Kucherov for a breakaway. Rittich made the save on the breakaway, but Hagel beat Drew Doughty to the loose puck and scored on the rebound.

Anthony Cirelli scored his fourth short-handed goal of the season for Tampa Bay. The shutout was Andrei Vasilevskiy’s 37th of his career.

After struggling to convert scoring changes, Tampa Bay has just 1 goal through the first 2 periods but makes it stick.

Brandon Hagel scored twice in a three-point outing, Andrei Vasilevskiy notched his third shutout this season and the Tampa Bay Lightning blanked the visiting Los Angeles Kings 3-0 on Thursday night.
