Two of the top four teams in the Eastern Conference highlight a 12-game schedule Thursday.
The Tampa Bay Lightning (33-15-5) will try for their fifth consecutive victory when they play the Pittsburgh Penguins (33-14-5) at Amalie Arena (7 p.m. ET; SNE, SNO, TVAS, SUN, ATTSN-PT, NHL.TV). The Lightning have won seven in a row at home and go for their seventh home winning streak of at least eight games since entering the NHL in 1992.
Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy is 14-0-2 in his past 16 games and can set a team record for longest personal point streak. He's also 7-0-1 in his past eight home games, including six consecutive wins.
