Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 23 shots for a successful NHL debut, as the Tampa Bay Lightning claimed a 3-1 victory over Philadelphia on Tuesday. Recalled from Syracuse of the AHL prior to the contest, Vasilevskiy was the reigning player of the week in the league. He was pressed into duty since backup Evgeni Nabokov played most of Mondays loss in Pittsburgh thanks to an injury to starter Ben Bishop. Steven Stamkos, Tyler Johnson and Valtteri Filppula lit the lamp for the Bolts, who were coming off consecutive road losses to the Capitals and Penguins. Ryan Callahan added two assists for Tampa, which also reached the 20-win plateau. Wayne Simmonds posted a power-play goal for the Flyers, who had won their first two of a four-game homestand. Steve Mason made 20 stops in defeat. Stamkos ripped a shot home from the right circle at 1:50 of the second period, and the Bolts took a 2-1 lead at 6:34 when Johnson tipped in a cross- crease pass from Nikita Kucherov which ticked off the skate of Callahan just as a Tampa power play expired. Vasilevsky didnt have to work much to make that lead hold up, needing only six saves in the middle 20 minutes. He made eight more saves in the third period, but only was required to stop one Philadelphia shot with Mason pulled in the final 1:57 of regulation. Filppula hit the empty net with 41.8 seconds to play which sealed the outcome. After killing off two penalties in a four-minute span, the Flyers took a 1-0 lead to intermission after Simmonds tipped in a Streit point drive with 40.4 on the first-period clock.

MONTREAL -- Crowds have thinned as the Montreal Impact dropped to the bottom of Major League Soccers standings, but the 15,995 who turned out Saturday night got a show from recently acquired designed player Ignacio Piatti. The midfielder known as Nacho scored his first MLS goal in the 40th minute and added another in injury time as the lmpact cooled off the Columbus Crew with a 2-0 victory. The 29-year-old Piatti, who arrived three weeks ago from the San Lorenzo club in Argentina, helped the last place Impact (5-15-5) to a second MLS win in three games, while also playing in a CONCACAF Champions League victory two weeks ago in El Salvador. "Hes the type of player weve been looking for," defender Matteo Ferrari said of Piatti, who brings speed, vision and skill to a club that was in need of a midfield general. Piatti, the clubs second designated player after striker Marco Di Vaio, took a feed from Felipe Martins inside the Columbus area, put a deke on Michael Parkhurst and drilled in his first MLS goal in the 40th minute. He added another at the end in extra time with a sliding shot on a loose ball after Di Vaio lost the ball. Columbus (8-9-9) had won their previous two matches. They were shut out after scoring nine times in three games, largely due to a rare collective defensive effort from Montreal. Holding midfielders Patrice Bernier and Felipe were especially busy limiting the chances of the Crews Argentine star Federico Higuain. "The team played well," Piatti said through a translator. "We did what we have to do to win. "I see it is a physical league, but its not a problem. I will adapt. Its already getting better." With nine regular season games remaining, the playoffs are an all-but impossible dream for Montreal, but coach Frank Klopas hopes a strong finish will give them momentum going into the 2015 campaign. The club is also hoping to go far in the Champions League. Adding Piatti gives them a big weapon, positioned at midfield just behind the striker where he can feed Di Vaio or go for a goal himself. "Weve made some positive moves," said Klopas. "With Ignacio coming in, it gives more confidence to the group. "We didnt deserve to lose a lott of those games, but we made changes and created depth on the team.dddddddddddd Were not there yet. I think we still need to add a couple of pieces to get the team where we want it to be." They are also in position to play the spoiler down the stretch. The loss was a setback for the Crew, who remained tied for third place in the Eastern Conference on 35 points with Toronto FC, who lost 3-0 to New England. The Impacts next game is at Houston on Sept. 6, where theyll shoot for a first road win of the season. "We can be the team thats the party pooper," said Bernier. The Saputo Stadium crowd could feel a goal coming for Piatti after he forced goalkeeper Steve Clark to make a sharp hand save in the 30th minute. Two minutes later, they booed as Piattis pass for Di Vaio into the area hit referee Juan Guzman, who a moment later showed Piatti the yellow card for a rough tackle. Guzman made it up in the 34th by taking out the yellow for Tony Tchani for tripping Piatti. Then Di Vaio drew a free kick just outside the Columbus area and opted for a pass that Piatti headed into Clarks hands. And less than a minute later, Piatti scored. "He is at ease on the ball," Bernier said of Piatti. "He scored two, but we have a lot of firepower now up front. "It was nice to see him score and be part the momentum weve had for the last few games. Were doing a much better job collectively." Higuain was given a free kick from 25 yards after a sliding tackle from Hassoun Camara but the Argentines shot went into keeper Evan Bushs arms. Substitute Aaron Schoenfelds header from close range off a corner kick in the 78th gave Bush trouble, but he managed to put a hand onto the ball. The scoresheet had Columbus outshooting Montreal 13-10, but Bush had few difficult saves. Notes: It was only Montreals second win in eight meetings with Columbus (2-5-1) in three MLS seasons. . . Piatti, Camara and Bush (for time wasting) all drew yellow cards for Montreal. Tchani and Wil Trapp were booked for Columbus and both central midfielders will miss the teams game next week against Chivas USA due to yellow card accumulation. . . Newly signed defender Gege Soriola did not dress for the Impact.
