The Tampa Bay Lightning will try to keep their nine-game win streak alive when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers.
Nikita Kucherov scored twice, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 24 saves as the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the host Florida Panthers 4-2 in a fight-filled game on Saturday night in Sunrise, Fla.
Even with the loss, the suddenly banged-up (no Jamie Drysdale, Bobby Brink or Travis Konecny) Flyers still hold the third spot in the Metropolitan Division standings.
The Tampa Bay Lightning were one of the NHL's worst teams in the first weeks of the season. Now, they look like one of the favorites.
BOTTOM LINE: The Tampa Bay Lightning seek to keep a 10-game win streak alive when they take on the Pittsburgh Penguins. Pittsburgh is 21-14-9 overall and 10-7-5 at home. The Penguins are 5-5-4 in one-goal games.
