Oliver Bjorkstrand - Scores with man advantage Bjorkstrand scored a power-play goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Sabres.

Impact Bjorkstrand has two goals in as many games to start February after scoring just once and adding four assists in all of January. The 30-year-old winger was bumped up to the second line Tuesday to help the Lightning navigate being down their top centers, Brayden Point (lower body) and Anthony Cirelli (undisclosed). With the goal, Bjorkstrand has 25 points (13 on the power play), 88 shots on net, 45 hits and a minus-9 rating over 54 appearances this season.

Andrei Vasilevskiy - Seventh straight win Vasilevskiy made 23 saves Tuesday in a 4-3 overtime win against the Sabres.

Impact It's hard to argue with a guy who has won seven straight and 15 of his last 16 games. The Bolts play next on Thursday against the Panthers. Vasy may get rested or not, given the team's next game in Feb. 25. This rest period will do his wonders heading down the stretch.

Impact Vasilevskiy has won 14 of his last 15 starts, posting a 1.89 GAA and a .922 save percentage. His most recent win was a little shaky, as he allowed five goals on 34 shots during the Stadium Series versus the Bruins on Sunday.
