TAMPA -- Andrei Vasilevskiy made 31 saves for his first shutout of the season, helping the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 3-0 win against the Washington Capitals at Amalie Arena on Saturday.

Andrei Vasilevskiy recorded his first shutout this season, rookie Conor Geekie notched his first NHL goal, and the Tampa Bay Lightning shut out the visiting Washington Capitals 3-0 on Saturday night in a matchup of Eastern Conference powers.

TAMPA — In the first six games of the season, the Washington Capitals put the puck in the net with relative ease. That scoring ability propelled them to a five-game winning streak after a loss in the season opener, but Coach Spencer Carbery cautioned Friday that the free-flowing offense wouldn’t last forever.

The Lightning held the Capitals (5-2-0, 10 points, third in the Metro) to just four 5-on-5 shots on goal in the period, consistently taking away passing lanes after Washington outshot the Lightning 17-8 in a bend-but-don’t-break second period for Tampa Bay.
