Andrei Vasilevskiy made 24 saves in his 300th NHL win, and the Tampa Bay Lightning stopped Winnipeg’s seven-game win streak with a 4-1 victory over the Jets. Vasilevskiy is the 40th goaltender in league history to win 300 games. He reached the milestone in 490 games, the fewest in NHL history, 31 faster than Jacques Plante. Winnipeg lost for just the second time in 17 games this season. It dropped to 7-1 on the road. Jake Guentzel scored twice for the Lightning, who had lost their previous five games against the Jets, including 7-4 in Winnipeg on Nov. 3.

Bucs TE Cade Otton emerging as reliable target for Baker Mayfield in absence of injured receivers

Fred GoodallComments Off on Bucs TE Cade Otton emerging as reliable target for Baker Mayfield in absence of injured receivers

Cade Otton is showing the rest of the NFL the type of offensive weapon the Tampa Bay Buccaneers always felt he could become. The third-year tight end has generally been regarded as a strong blocker, but has emerged over the past month as a reliable go-to target for Baker Mayfield in the absence of injured wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. And even with Evans possibly returning from a hamstring injury after this week’s bye, the Bucs probably will need to keep Otton heavily involved in the passing attack to enhance the chances of pulling out of a tailspin that’s seen the team lose five of six games following a 3-1 start.
