Erik Cernak notched a goal and two assists Wednesday night as the Tampa Bay Lightning continued their dominance over the visiting Dallas Stars with a 6-2 win.
The victory by the Lightning (36-14-3, 75 points) enabled them to tie the idle Florida Panthers in points in the Central Division, with Tampa Bay owning a game in hand.
However, Nashville s 3-2 regulation loss in Columbus allowed Dallas (21-18-14, 56 points) to remain mathematically alive. The Stars do not hold the regulation-wins tiebreaker against the Predators.
Tyler Johnson, Brayden Point and Alex Killorn posted a goal and an assist. Ross Colton and Mikhail Sergachev also scored for the Lightning, who are 6-0-1 in their past seven games and 6-1 against Dallas.

In what was essentially a must-win game, the Dallas Stars once again failed to deliver. Unable to find an answer for Andrei Vasilevskiy, the Stars fell 4-2 to the Tampa Bay Lightning, putting them at 0-3-1 for their season-ending road trip thus far.
Lightning struck early with a Tyler Johnson goal just minutes into the game, although Tyler Seguin managed to even the score in the final seconds of the first period. The Stars continued to hold their own against Tampa Bay, but a couple of goals late in the period gave the Lightning a 3-1 lead heading into the third. Andrej Sekera halved the deficit, but Tampa Bay immediately answered back. A couple of empty netters within the final three minutes left sealed the deal.
