Command Analysis
Tampa Bay Lightning
USACurrent form
Tampa Bay finally broke its winning streak, which reached three games. The team played away to Columbus, where, to the great surprise of the fans, it showed a terrible game in defense and allowed the opponent to realize its attacking potential to the fullest, and as a result, it had to lose in overtime (6:7). Goalie Johansson was unable to cope with a huge number of shots, reflecting only 83% of them. What is especially noteworthy is that before this, the club showed a much more reliable game in defense, thanks to which it was able to snatch a victory from Pittsburgh (3:2 OT), and also crush Winnipeg and New Jersey with a score of 4:1 and 4:0, respectively. In absolutely every meeting, the first line showed its best side, Kucherov, Hedman and Sireli made the difference and made a huge contribution to the success.
Thanks to the points they have earned, the Lightning are currently in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings, with 22 points. However, it is worth noting that the club position remains precarious, as their closest competitors are only a few points behind.
