Sunday, 3 a.m.

Suddenly, the goal seems 10 feet wide. The opposition seems slow. The opposing goaltender looks lost.

And the Tampa Bay Lightning cannot lose.

The Bolts won their seventh straight game Saturday, blowing away the San Jose Sharks 7-2. The Bolts have averaged five goals a team in their streak.

Darren Raddysh scored a hat trick Sunday. Nikita Kucherov scored a goal, his 20th, and had four assists.

Also scoring for the Bolts were Brayden Point, Dominic James and Brandon Hagle.

Goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 19 shots to take his record to 16-7-2.

The Bolts are home on Monday night at the Benchmark International Arena against Colorado at 7 p.m.
