ABOUT THE LIGHTNING
- The Lightning roll into town winless in three games (0-2-1) and sporting a 6-14-1 road record, one of the worst in the NHL.
- Goaltender Ben Bishop had started six straight games for the Lightning since being acquired from Ottawa at the trade deadline before Mathieu Garon was in net for Sunday’s 3-1 loss to Buffalo. On Monday, Bishop was signed to a two-year $4.6 million contract extension.
- Steven Stamkos has scored more goals than any NHLer since the start of the 2009-10 season (182). Over that span, the Lightning are 88-41-13 when he scores. Stamkos has been battling a shoulder injury and has just one goal in his last eight games.
- Nate Thompson, who took a Mike Green shot to the head that shattered his visor last week, didn’t play against the Sabres and was to be re-evaluated prior to tonight’s game against the Jets.
- The Lightning have the second-most potent attack in the NHL, averaging 3.14 goals per game. Only Pittsburgh, at 3.29, has scored more. On the flip side, Tampa’s 3.07 goals against ranks 27th.
- Veteran Martin St. Louis has moved into the top 100 on the NHL’s all-time career points list with 904, good for 97th place. Just ahead of him on the list are Scott Stevens (908) and Gary Roberts (910).
