TAMPA -- The Tampa Bay Lightning will try to start another win streak before the All-Star break when they play the Toronto Maple Leafs at Amalie Arena on Wednesday (7 p.m. ET; TVA Sports, SN, SUN).

The Lightning (26-18-4) had their seven-game win streak ended in a 5-2 loss Saturday to the Florida Panthers. Tampa Bay currently is the first wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the Eastern Conference with 56 points.

Lightning forward Ryan Callahan said he and his teammates need to come out with a strong effort against the Maple Leafs and not allow one loss to turn into a losing streak.

"We have to keep our focus and not look ahead to the break," Callahan said. "These are two important points and we desperately need. So concentrate on [Wednesday] and then we'll get a little break. This is an important divisional game. Sometimes after you have such a big win streak you can let it get away from you after you lose that first game. We put ourselves behind the eight ball quite a little bit early in the season and now we've gotten ourselves back in the hunt. But we need to continue to work. We haven't accomplished anything."

TAMPA -- Something has to give when the Chicago Blackhawks play the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena on Thursday (7:30 p.m. ET; TVAS, CSN-CH, SUN), a rematch of the 2015 Stanley Cup Final won by the Blackhawks in six games.

Chicago (32-13-4) has won a Blackhawks record 12 straight games. Tampa Bay (25-17-4) has won six straight to move into second place in the Atlantic Division.

"When you win 12 games in a row it's not going to be the same guys every night stepping up and making a difference," Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane said. "Guys from the first line to the fourth line to our backup goaltender to our sixth defenseman, they've all been key to this run. And it's fun to have it that way. It's fun to have different guys stepping up and making a difference."

TAMPA -- The Edmonton Oilers will be without forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena (7:30 p.m. ET; SNW, SUN).

Nugent-Hopkins, the first pick in the 2011 NHL Draft, will be out for 6-8 weeks after breaking his hand while blocking a shot by Florida Panthers defenseman Dmitry Kulikov on Monday.

Currently, Edmonton (19-23-5) has four centers on the roster and is expected to make a recall Tuesday before the game.

"He's a key player for us and a big-time player for our team," center Leon Draisaitl said. "Obviously now it's time for other guys to step up and kind of pick that up. He did everything -- he kills penalties, plays on the power play, he produces offensively, takes faceoffs ... all-around player. It's going to hurt but we have the skill and the players to replace him."

TAMPA -- The Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning will face off in a possible Stanley Cup Playoff preview at Amalie Arena on Sunday (5 p.m. ET; FS-F, SUN).

The Panthers (26-13-5) are in first place in the Atlantic Division, four points ahead of the Detroit Red Wings.

The Lightning (23-17-4) have won their past four games and hold the first wild card into the playoffs from the Eastern Conference with a game in hand over the Montreal Canadiens.

The only time each Florida team was in the playoffs in the same season was 1996. The Panthers advanced to the Stanley Cup Final and lost to the Colorado Avalanche in four games. The Lightning were eliminated in the first round, losing to the Philadelphia Flyers in six games.

The Panthers are at the end of a six-game, 12-day road trip. They're 3-1-1 after a 6-0 loss to the Calgary Flames on Wednesday.

TAMPA -- The Tampa Bay Lightning will look to keep their recent hot streak going when they return home to play the Pittsburgh Penguins at Amalie Arena on Friday (7:30 p.m. ET, TVA Sports, SUN, ROOT).

Tampa Bay (22-17-4) won its final three games of a four-game road trip and moved into the first wild card in the Eastern Conference after a 4-0 win against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday.

With five of the next six games at Amalie Arena, the Lightning hope to continue their ascension and tighten the race in the Atlantic Division.

"It's funny how you look at it ... you lose the first one to Calgary and you're down 2-0 to Edmonton in the third," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "We're staring at, almost an 0-2 start. [So] what started off as a nerve-racking trip turned into a pretty darn successful one."

TAMPA – Forward Zack Parise is a game-time decision to return to the lineup after missing a game when the Minnesota Wild take on the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena on Saturday.

Parise missed the first game of Minnesota's four-game road trip, a 3-1 win against the St. Louis Blues, with a knee injury. He practiced on Friday and was a full participant in the team's optional skate Saturday.

"I would hope we have a decision before game time," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "But we will divulge our lineup at game time. We'll see [Saturday] night."

TAMPA -- Forward Jonathan Drouin was activated off injured reserve Tuesday and will return to the lineup for the Tampa Bay Lightning when they play the New York Rangers at Amalie Arena on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN).

Drouin has not played since Dec. 10 and has two goals and six assists in 18 games this season. He said he doesn't expect he will need much time to get his legs back.

"It's definitely nice to feel good again," Drouin said. "I'm ready to go. It's up to me to get [my legs] again and I'm sure it'll be fine."

TAMPA – The Montreal Canadiens will try to avoid a seven-game losing streak for the first time in more than 20 years Monday against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena.

Montreal (20-14-3) hasn't lost seven straight since a stretch that included the end of the 1994-95 season and the beginning of the 1995-96 season. The Canadiens face the Lightning for the first time since the Eastern Conference Second Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season. The Lightning won that series in six games.

The Canadiens acquired goalie Ben Scrivens in a trade with the Edmonton Oilers on Monday for forward Zack Kassian. Scrivens, 29, was playing with Bakersfield of the American Hockey League this season and will back up rookie Mike Condon against the Lightning.

"I'm definitely happy with how things played out," Scrivens said of the trade. "Definitely happy to get a new chance and a chance to play in the NHL again."

TAMPA -- Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Joonas Korpisalo will get a second chance at the Tampa Bay Lightning when the two teams play at Amalie Arena on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; FS-O, SUN).

Korpisalo made his NHL debut against the Lightning on Dec. 14 and made 27 saves in a 2-1 loss.

Since then Korpisalo has started four of the past five games for the Blue Jackets (13-20-3) going 1-3 including a 5-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday that coach John Tortorella said wasn't his fault.

"I think on the fourth goal he has to stop that puck, but he made some big saves for us," Tortorella said. "That's a team effort the way we lost that game. We wasted a 5-on-3 and we weren't the same team after that."

Tortorella hopes the four-day break will help the players erase memories of the first 36 games and become more consistent for the remainder of the season.

"We've had some real encouraging nights and then we end up with some disappointments," Tortorella said. We need to have more encouraging nights than disappointments to get back in this thing. I think it's important for the guys to let everything go. I think [we] can wipe it clean, especially after the way we played against Pittsburgh."

TAMPA -- Center Henrik Sedin will return to the lineup when the Vancouver Canucks play the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena on Tuesday.

Sedin has missed the past two games with a lower-body injury but was a full participant in the Canucks' optional morning skate and said he's ready to go.

"[The injury is] much better and I should be good tonight," Sedin said. "You never want to test something in a game. I'm going in there feeling 100 percent."

Sedin said he should record his normal minutes and will have his usual role on his line and on the power play.
