Part of the reason the Tampa Bay Lightning have strung together a recent successful run (4-0-1) is that they’ve locked things down defensively. Until they allowed three goals against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, they hadn’t allowed more that two in four straight games. A lot of that is due in part to Andrei Vasilevskiy returning to playoff form, but the team on a whole is starting to find their defensive rhythm, something that was a hallmark of their two Stanley Cup runs.
