This feels like a good time to reshare my #GoBolts story from today, one in which @TBLightning defenseman Charle-Edouard D'Astous said it was only a matter of time before Dominic James' first NHL goal. "It's just a question of time." Good call, Chucky. https://t.co/xIAm13eAqA

Not a bad night, eh? 👀

Oliver Bjorkstrand's line fired on all cylinders against Vegas! He chatted postgame with @DaveMishkin. #TBLvsVGK 🎧: https://t.co/S6Y9TymMk9 📻: @1025TheBone

#GoBolts Hagel on the first to second period: “I don’t think there was anything that needed to really be said when you come into the dressing room. I think a period like that, kind of a little bit of an onus on you as players. What is a coach going to say? Yell at you? You have

Dominic James on his first NHL goal: “I honestly don't really remember too much. I remember seeing the puck go in, I remember seeing it bounce over Gonzo’s stick and that eventually led to it coming to me, so kind of happy it bounced over Gonzo’s stick (laughs), but that’s kind

Assistant coach Rob Zettler told media postgame that Anthony Cirelli’s injury was upper body, no further update. Hoping he’ll be back Saturday. #GoBolts

FINAL: #GoBolts 6, Vegas 3 James 1-2--3 for his first NHL points, Kucherov 2-1--3, Hagel 2-1--3. Vasilevskiy 29 saves. Tampa Bay is 7-5-2 on the year after overcoming the 2-0 deficit tonight. Great response, up next is Washington on Saturday at home.

Empty net goal Hagel #GoBolts lead 6-3

Vegas net is empty with 2:10 remaining

Now Vegas gets a power play with 4:45 left in the third and trailing 5-3 #GoBolts

GOAL: Kucherov's second of the night, and it's 5-3 #GoBolts with a power-play goal

The #GoBolts to the power play with 7:22 left and up a goal, James draws the tripping call

Moser good shot block, but he stayed down on the ice in some pain after, hope he's alright #GoBolts

Penalty killed, back to even strength. Good work by the #GoBolts

DOMINATING: With the assist on that Hagel goal, #GoBolts forward Dominic James (1-2--3) is the first Lightning rookie to post a 3-point game since Nick Perbix (0-3--3) in February 2023. It ties James for the most points in a game by any rookie in team history.

The #GoBolts now go to a 4-minute penalty kill as Vasilevskiy is dinged for a high-sticking four minutes into the third period and ahead 4-3

GOAL: Hagel makes it 4-3 in this goal fest to open the third period #GoBolts

Vegas ties it quickly after the Kucherov goal, it's 3-3 on a Marner goal

Kucherov scores near the post just as the power play was ending after a dandy pass from Bjorkstrand, the #GoBolts have their first lead of the night. That is Kucherov's seventh straight game against Vegas with a goal, his longest active goal streak against any NHL team.

GOAL: Kucherov makes it 3-2! #GoBolts
