Ondrej Palat was tied for the team lead with four points last week as the Lightning picked up a pair of wins.

Palat began the week with a three-point performance in Tuesday's 7-2 victory over the Blue Jackets. Palat scored twice in the opening 10 minutes to stake Tampa Bay to an early lead and added an assist on Brayden Point's second period tally. Palat's second goal marked the 400th point of his career.

Palat closed the week with goals in games against Calgary and Boston at home. On Thursday against the Flames, Palat got positioning in front of the net and put home a feed from Nikita Kucherov to extend the Bolts' lead to three midway through the third peirod. Palat also got the Lightning on the board with a third period goal in Saturday night's loss to the Bruins.
Palat's four goals were tied for the most in the NHL last week. Palat also has points in seven of his last eight games.
