The Tampa Bay Lightning ended their four-game losing streak with a win against the Calgary Flames Saturday afternoon. Prior to the game the team has lost their captain, Steven Stamkos, to injury for the next 6-8 weeks and in his absence several depth players have came forward.
The win was keyed by a long-awaited reawakening of the power play. The Lightning converted two of their four power play opportunities during that game and had a solid look on the remaining two. The penalty kill looked great too, the addition of Blake Coleman and Barclay Goodrow gave them more depth and another strong penalty kill unit to add to the Cedric Paquette/ Yanni Gourde combination.
