Tampa Bay's depth was on display in the victory. Nick Perbix led all skaters with three assists, and three of the Bolts' five goals came from bottom six forwards.
Andrei Vasilevskiy got the win in goal, stopping 26 of 28 shots.
With no games next week and the All-Star break to follow, it'll be eight days before the Bolts are back in action. They pick things up again on February 6 against the Panthers in Sunrise.
