Vladislav Namestnikov scored twice and added an assist in three games last week.

In Tuesday's shootout victory over the Avalanche in Denver, Namestnikov scored a game-tying goal in the third period to help Tampa Bay force overtime. With the puck in the slot, Namestnikov was tripped up by Bowen Byram, but managed to shovel the puck past Alexandar Georgiev on his backhand while falling to the ice.

Against Vegas on Saturday, Namestnikov recorded his second multi-point game of the season. He scored the game-opening goal on a redirection and picked up the secondary assist on Pierre-Edouard Bellemare's goal late in the third.
Namestnikov's three points were tied for the team lead last week.
