It was milestone night in Tampa Bay on Tuesday, as the Lightning served up a 5-0 shellacking to the Los Angeles Kings.

Goaltender Ben Bishop earned his first shutout of the season, turning aside 28 shots to clinch the goose egg. This season's shutout leader, Peter Budaj, had far less success, stopping just 16 of 21 while getting tagged with a few highlight reel goals.

Tampa Bay's forwards reached a few key season plateaus as well.

Nikita Kucherov tallied his 20th goal of the season on as clear-cut a breakaway chance as one can earn, capitalizing on a well-placed stretch pass from Vladislav Namestnikov. Late in the second, Namestnikov and Kucherov linked up for another impressive tally, giving the latter Russian a team-leading 21 goals this year.

Sandwiched in between Kucherov's two goals was Gabriel Dumont's first goal of the season - and first as a member of the Lightning. Dumont's quick shot earned him his first goal since the 2012-13 season - when he scored his only previous big-league tally as a member of the Montreal Canadiens.

Tampa Bay defender Braydon Coburn got in on the offensive frenzy in the latter half of the third period, potting the fifth and final goal of the game. In so doing, he earned his second goal of the year, marking the rearguard's first multi-goal season since 2013-14.

After winning just three of their past 10 games, the Lightning have now earned victories in two straight, doing so for the first time since late December.
