Teuvo Teravainen had three goals to lead Carolina past Tampa Bay.

Frederik Andersen made 14 saves for his first shutout of the season and 24th of his career. Carolina went 4 for 5 on the power play.
Andrei Vasilevskiy had 32 saves for the Lightning, who lost their fifth straight (0-4-1) and were held without a shot on goal in the second period.
