The Tampa Bay Lightning continued their strong start to the homestand with a 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers at Benchmark International Arena. Led by another stellar performance from Andrei Vasilevskiy, timely scoring from Brayden Point, Pontus Holmberg, Ilya Mikheyev, and Brandon Hagel, and a dominant possession game, the Bolts improved to 2-1 on the season and showed once again that their commitment to structure and compete level is paying dividends.

On Last Call Presented by Jack Daniel's, Greg Linnelli, JP Peterson, Bobby "The Chief" Taylor, and Brian Engblom break down another dominant defensive effort that limited Philadelphia to just 14 shots on goal. The crew discusses the emergence of the Ilya Mikheyev, Zemgus Girgensons, and Pontus Holmberg line, Max Crozier's strong performance on the blue line, and why Victor Hedman looks rejuvenated early this season.

Plus, hear postgame comments from Brayden Point, Jon Cooper, and Ilya Mikheyev as the Lightning continue building momentum ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Minnesota Wild.
