Brandon Hagel scored two goals and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 24 saves to secure the Lightning's fourth consecutive home victory of the season.
Captain Victor Hedman scored just over two minutes into overtime on Thursday to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 4-3 victory over the Seattle Kraken at Benchmark International Arena.
Brandon Hagel scored twice to help the Lightning maintain an undefeated home record, while Ilya Mikheyev added his 100th career goal during the contest.
Andrei Vasilevskiy made 24 saves to earn the win for Tampa Bay, while Philipp Grubauer stopped 31 shots for the Seattle Kraken in the losing effort.
The Lightning improved to 5-2 on the season and remain at home to face the Utah Mammoth on Saturday.
Despite the win, the Lightning remain concerned about their power play performance, as the team has struggled to generate goals with the man advantage this season.
NEWARK. Victor Hedman still can. He became an overtime hero for Tampa after a fantastic solo raid last night. – It was nice, the 35-year-old defenseman laconically tells Sportbladet after the 4-3 victory against Seattle.
