Lightning cruise to 3-0 victory over Sabres

Steven Stamkos gave the Lightning a lead in the first period and Tampa Bay didn't look back as they scored two power-play goals in the second period to put the game on ice. Andrei Vasilevskiy had 28 saves for Tampa.

There are plenty of ways to endear yourself to new teammates. Some players buy dinner. Others might score a goal.

Braydon Coburn was acquired by the Tampa Bay Lightning to beef up their defense, likely by doing the dirty work. Getting in fights might not be at the top of that list of tasks, but he did so with Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno on Tuesday.
