Tampa Bay has won six of its last seven games to hold the lead in the division with a league-high 77 points. It knocked off Vancouver 5-2 on Thursday night as a heavy -257 home favorite to improve to 18-5-1 at home this season. The Lightning are the most complete team in the NHL with a 3.6 goals per game average that is ranked first complementing a defense that is sixth in goals allowed (2.6).
