Tampa Bay, playing its third road game in four nights, finally broke through late in the second period when Paul finished a two-on-one rush with a wrist shot from the right circle into the top far corner.

The Lightning pulled Vasilevskiy for an extra attacker with three minutes remaining and Hague sealed the win 18 seconds later with an empty-netter.

Kucherov ended the scoring with a 6-on-4 power-play goal with just five seconds remaining, one-timing a shot from the right circle for his 30th goal of the season.

Hertl left the game with 5:49 remaining and didn't return after landing heavily with his left shoulder and arm against the bottom of the end boards after Vasilevskiy stopped his breakaway try. Defenseman Emil Lilleberg picked up a two-minute boarding penalty on the play.
