If the Devils can’t put an end to this rough stretch, they can kiss the playoffs goodbye.
Steven Stamkos extended his goal-scoring streak to a season-high five games and the Lightning beat the fading Devils 4-0 on Friday night for their fifth straight win.
Ben Bishop made 21 saves for his third shutout of the season. Alex Killorn, Ondrej Palat and Matt Carle also scored as the Lightning sent the Devils to their second loss in as many nights and fifth in six games.
