Tampa Bay enters Game 4 having won a franchise playoff-record eight-straight games at home, the Lightning dropping their playoff home opener Game 3 of the 1st Rd. vs. TOR (1-2 L) before reeling off eight in a row and outscoring opponents 33-13 over those eight wins...The Lightning's eight-game home win streak is tied for the sixth longest in NHL playoff history (longest: 11-straight home wins by Edmonton in 1988)...Over the last two seasons, the Bolts are 17-4 in home playoff contests and own the NHL's best home playoff win percentage (.810) over that stretch...The Lightning are aiming to become the first team in NHL history to overcome a 2-0 deficit to win in consecutive rounds; the Bolts dropped the opening two games in the Eastern Conference Final to the Rangers in New York before winning the next four to advance to the Stanley Cup Final...The Bolts can become the 14th team in NHL history to tie a Stanley Cup Final 2-2 after losing the first two games and first to do so since Nashville evened its series against Pittsburgh in 2017.
