Jake Guentzel scored the only goal in the shootout and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-3 on Tuesday night.

Anaheim opened the scoring 6:03 into the game on a redirection by forward Troy Terry, but the Lightning tied the score eight minutes later on the power play. Hedman got the puck at the left point and fed forward Brandon Hagel in the right corner, where the latter passed the puck to Anthony Cirelli at the back post for a tap-in and a tie game.

Dumoulin, 33, signed a two-year, $6.3 million contract in July 2023 and carries a $3.15 million cap for the remainder of the season. It's worth noting that the defenseman's deal includes a 10-team no-trade list.
Vatrano enjoyed a breakout season last year, hitting the 30-goal mark for the first time while leading the Ducks in multiple categories and earning his first All-Star honor.

Colangelo has earned a promotion by leading the AHL’s San Diego Gulls with 13 goals and 22 points in his 24 games. He’s been bumped up to a scoring line with Troy Terry out of the lineup, and while he scored his second NHL goal last week, he’s also been on the ice for nine goals against at even strength.
A steady defenseman who is shifty on breakouts and avoiding forechecks and can play both the left and right side, Dumoulin’s services should be in high demand. His $3,150,000 cap hit is modest and the number of teams interested will increase if the Ducks retain half of that.
