8 p.m. ET; PRIME, SUN, NHL.TV

The Lightning have at least a point in seven straight road games (6-0-1), tied for the third-longest streak in their history, after wins at the San Jose Sharks (5-1) on Wednesday and the Los Angeles Kings (5-2) on Thursday. Their record is 10 straight from Feb. 5 to March 10, 2004, and from Jan. 5 to Feb. 20, 2008.
The Ducks avoided losing five consecutive games for the first time in two years when they scored three power-play goals in a 4-1 win against the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday. That was their first regulation victory since going 2-for-2 on the power play in a 4-1 victory at Tampa Bay on Oct. 28.

Lightning center Steven Stamkos has 30 points (eight goals, 22 assists), his most through the first 17 games of a season in his NHL career.
Ducks forward Jakob Silfverberg has four goals in his past six games after not scoring in his first 10. He scored an NHL career-high 23 goals in 79 games last season.
