UNDATED (AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning have points in 11 of their last 12 games by blanking the Philadelphia Flyers.
Andrei Vasilevskiy turned back 34 shots and a pair of Lightning players ended lengthy goal droughts in a 4-0 shutout of the Flyers. Vasilevskiy posted his first shutout of the season and 27th of his career.
Zach Bogosian scored for the first time in 63 games, ending a drought that began after a goal against the Red Wings in January 2020. Corey Perry had gone 37 games without a goal before finally netting his 387th.
Steven Stamkos had a goal and two assists for the Lightning.

The Oilers were held to a season-low 21 shots in losing for just the fifth time in 18 games.

Jacob Markstrom made 19 saves for the Flames, who lead the Western Conference with 30 points.
Mediation set for Blackhawks, former player in assault case
UNDATED (AP) — A former player who sued the Chicago Blackhawks has agreed to mediation in hopes of settling the case.
Kyle Beach says the team did nothing when he raised allegations of sexual assault against assistant coach Bradley Aldrich in 2010. An investigation commissioned by the team largely found that to be true. The fallout included top executives losing their jobs and an NHL fine of $2 million.
Mediation is set to begin in December.
In other NHL news:
— Lightning star center Brayden Point is expected to miss four to six weeks because of an upper-body injury suffered in Saturday’s loss to New Jersey. Point appeared to favor his left shoulder or arm after crashing hard into the end boards after being tripped in the third period. Point had an NHL-best 14 goals in last season’s playoffs.
