Verhaeghe's Go-Ahead Goal Lifts Lightning to Victory
Former Salary-Cap Casualty Shines for Tampa Bay
Lightning Defeat Opponents in Thrilling Matchup
In a stunning turn of events, former salary-cap casualty Anthony Verhaeghe scored the go-ahead goal just 58 seconds into the third period, leading the Tampa Bay Lightning to a hard-fought victory over their rivals.
Verhaeghe, who was traded by the Lightning in 2019 due to salary cap constraints, returned to haunt his former team with a clutch goal that proved to be the game-winner. His tally gave the Lightning a much-needed 2-1 lead, which they held onto for the remainder of the game.
The Lightning's victory was a testament to their resilience and determination, as they overcame a slow start to secure the win. The team's defensemen played a key role in the victory, blocking shots and clearing the zone effectively.
With this win, the Lightning improve their record to 17-11-3 on the season and remain in contention for a playoff spot. Verhaeghe's performance serves as a reminder that sometimes, cutting ties with players due to salary constraints can come back to haunt you.
