Lightning’s 8-game win streak snapped by rival Panthers
The Lightning’s season-long win streak was going to end eventually, and given the exemplary way they’d played over the previous eight games, they probably were due for an off night. In many ways, the Lightning played well enough to win Monday night against the cross-state rival Panthers.

The Tampa Bay Lightning are the hottest team in the NHL. They've won eight games in a row sandwiched around the 4 Nations Face-Off and last lost on Feb. 1.
The Lightning (36-21-4) have gone from a team battling for a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference to pushing toward the top of the Atlantic Division by going 10-1-1 in their past 12 games heading into their game against the Buffalo Sabres at Amalie Arena on Thursday (7 p.m. ET; ESPN).
Nikita Kucherov had two assists and the streaking Tampa Bay Lightning beat Leon Draisaitl and the Edmonton Oilers 4-1.
Columbus acquired Olivier via trade from Nashville in exchange for a 2022 4th round draft pick, that originally belonged to Toronto, that was previously acquired in the Nick Foligno trade. The pick became goalie Dennis Hildeby.
The best thing after a tough loss is to get right back on the ice and that’s what the Lightning will do with a home game against the Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
