Kucherov gives the #Bolts a 2-0 lead heading into the locker room for the first intermission, Point and Hagel with the assists on that goal 2-0 Tampa Bay Lightning
Point and Kucherov work their magic with space in the offensive zone. Kucherov finishes to make it 2-0 #GoBolts in Seattle. Good for him, he has a lot of chances in Nashville two nights ago and looked frustrated he couldn’t bury one.
And the Lightning go up 2-0 with 44 seconds to go in the first period on a nice give-and-go that sees Nikita Kucherov convert a Brayden Point pass. Some boos at intermission after #SEAKraken outshot 13-4 that period. Ugh. #NHL https://t.co/mkKlS7kiDw
Just a beautiful pass from Point to Kucherov and he scores his 18th of the season. Great vision. Hagel gets the secondary helper and it's 2-0 #Bolts with 43.8 seconds left in the period.

Cirelli with the redirection, he is riding a four game point streak with four goals over that span 1-0 Tampa Bay Lightning
Really nice redirection by Anthony Cirelli in front off a shot from Nick Perbix. Secondary assist to Tanner Jeannot. #Bolts up 1-0 with 10:32 left in the first. Four-game point streak for Cirelli.

Hagel on the left circle on the #GoBolts top power play without Stamkos. Paul feeds Kucherov for a glorious one-timer look that Grubauer snags out of the air.
This was the third period for #SeaKraken https://t.co/QU9aJMD96U
