For Vasilevskiy, 6-4 on the season, it was another pedestrian outing. Staked to a 1-0 lead, the Blues scored three straight, taking advantage of breakaways to win.

The Bolts scored two goals by defensemen. Nick Perbix scored his first goal of the year. Victor Hedman scored his fifth.

Brayden Point did not play for the Bolts.

The Bolts are home against Philadelphia at 7:30 p.m. at Amalie Arena.
