The Tampa Bay Lightning have won games this season after trailing by multiple goals and rallying or by scoring a barrage of goals early and coasting to victory.

The Lightning have won games because of superior special teams play. They've won games when outshooting their opponent by a wide margin or by holding on for dear life behind stellar goaltending.

TAMPA BAY - The Tampa Bay Lightning will be hosting the "2019 Bolts Chel Challenge" with qualifying matches kicking off on February 2, 2019. The final four participants will face off at AMALIE Arena on February 16, 2019 when the Lightning take on the Montreal Canadiens for a chance to take home part of a $10,000 prize purse. The Top 3 finishers will then go on to represent the Lightning at the 2019 Chel Classic, a 3v3 showcase match against the Washington Capitals in Washington, D.C.

The Tampa Bay Lightning got a well-deserved point to open their four-game road trip through Western Canada.

But the Bolts' eight-game win streak came to a close, one game shy of tying the franchise record.

Winnipeg earned a 5-4 overtime victory Sunday night at Bell MTS Place, Mark Schefiele striking with 42 seconds remaining in the extra session to send the home crowd to the exits happy. The Lightning held a 4-3 lead in the third period but couldn't make it stand up, the Jets tying the game with 5:37 to go to force overtime.

This was a highly entertaining, exciting game between two of the top teams in the league. The fact that the Lightning weren't able to bank a second point (and extend their winning streak to what would have been a franchise-record-tying nine straight games) doesn't diminish how well they played for much of the night. Especially in the second half of the game.

Mark Scheifele scored 4:18 into the overtime period send the Jets past the Lightning in a back-and-forth battle on Sunday night.

The loss ends Tampa Bays eight game winning streak but gives the Bolts points in nine straight contests.
