Budaj allowed five goals on 37 shots against the Avalanche, but the good news is that was enough to win, as the Lightning captured a 6-5 victory Saturday night.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old received just his sixth start Saturday, and it went about as well as his first five went. The Lightning even spotted him a 4-0 lead, but Budaj yielded four third-period goals to make things interesting. Budaj came into the night 2-2-1 with a .881 save percentage and 3.40 GAA and somehow, those totals got worse despite a victory. Budaj played very well in place of an injured Jonathan Quick last season for the Kings, but since joining the Lightning around the 2017 trade deadline, he owns a .886 save percentage in 13 appearances.
