Andrei Vasilevskiy made 16 saves and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 on Saturday night to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven playoff series. Alex Killorn, Brayden Point and Victor Hedman scored, and the Lightning held off a 6-on-5 push late by the Blue Jackets, who could manage only seven total shots in the second and third periods. “I’m looking back at that second period really impressed with the way the guys played,” Killorn said. The Lightning outshot Columbus 34-17, including 16-4 in the second period. The Blue Jackets had to play all five games to beat Toronto in the qualifying series, and then played three games in last five days — starting with the marathon Game 1 that went into five overtime periods.
