Jake Guentzel, who won a Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh in 2017, had two assists to become the second player in Lightning history with at least 20 goals and 40 points in his first 40 games with the franchise. Guentzel signed a seven-year deal with the Lightning in the offseason.

Brayden Point and Ryan McDonagh reached point milestones in leading the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 4-1 victory over the struggling Boston Bruins. The game featured the first-ever matchup between brothers Morgan and Conor Geekie.

On a team that has multiple high-end players, Kucherov is leading the Bolts in scoring by a margin of 19, accounting for 47 helpers, 68 points and a plus-14 rating through 42 outings this season.

Detroit has been on a bit of a hot streak as of late, winning 8 of their last 10 games. The Lightning have had a jam-packed month of January with sixteen games on the schedule. There's no doubt they'd like to see their divisional record improve and they'll have a chance to do it tonight.

Robby Fabbri, Troy Terry and Leo Carlsson score for the Ducks, who fall to 1-3-1 on their six-game trip when Guentzel scores the only goal for either team in the shootout to hand them a 4-3 defeat.

The Anaheim Ducks and Tampa Bay Lightning faced off for the second time in two weeks last night when they battled for 65 minutes plus a shootout at Amalie Arena in Tampa.

Tampa Bay is back home for a quick two-game home stand after going 1-1-1 on their most recent road-trip. It’s been a busy month for the Bolts and the schedule doesn’t let up until the end of January. Since beating the Lightning 4-1 on Jan 5., the Ducks have gone 1-3-1, scoring just 5 goals in total on their roadtrip.

Under duress from Charlie Coyle, Victor Hedman lost the puck just inside his left point position and Poitras pounced on it, bursting up ice on a 2-on-1. He smartly waited out Nick Perbix’s belly-flop slide and made a pretty pass around the defenseman’s skates to Trent Frederic for a redirection at 4:24, Frederic’s seventh of the year.

Special teams and defensive responsibility served as the bedrock to the Tampa Bay Lightning's fine first half in the immediate post-Steven Stamkos era.

Trent Frederic gave the Bruins a 1-0 lead at 4:24 of the first period. Matthew Poitras skated in on a 2-on-1, showed patience with the puck by waiting out a sliding Nick Perbix, and sent a pass to Frederic for a tap-in at the left post.

A late breakaway goal from Nikita Kucherov stood as the game-winner as the Lightning beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-2 at PPG Paints Arena on Sunday. The win closed a weekend back-to-back, one in which the Lightning left with three standings points after Saturday’s overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils.

The Pittsburgh Penguins were defeated by the Tampa Bay Lightning, 5-2, on Saturday at PPG Paints Arena. It was the Penguins’ sixth loss in their past seven games (1-3-3). Goaltender Tristan Jarry unofficially stopped 13 of 16 shots as his record fell to 8-7-4.
