TAMPA, Fla. — Jake Guentzel scored the only goal in the shootout and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Ducks 4-3 Thursday night.

Tampa Bay held a 3-2 lead heading into the second intermission. Dostal came up big early in the third period, stopping a pair of Brandon Hagel’s short-handed breakaways on the same Ducks power play to keep his team within a goal.
The Ducks tied the score 8 minutes later as Fabbri tipped in Jacob Trouba’s point shot at 9:53 to send the game to overtime.
It was a milestone night for Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman, who became the first player in franchise history to record 600 career assists.
