Scouting Report
A six-game winning streak and a seven-game point run takes the Tampa Bay Lightning (1st in Central Division) to a road game against the neighboring Florida Panthers (2nd in Central), who have a horrid recent record against the Bolts.
The current winning streak of the Tampa Bay Lightning (9-1-1) extended to six matchups after the team banked a 6-1 triumph against the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday. After the Preds opened the scoring just barely five minutes into the first period, the Bolts buried six unanswered snipes subsequently (three - in the opening frame, three - in the final third), with Steven Stamkos (7 goals, 14 points this year) and Mathieu Joseph (4 goals, 5 points) both lighting the lamp twice.
