Recent Performance Trends


The Tampa Bay Lightning have shown commendable resilience and skill in their recent outings.

The team's goaltender saved 15 out of 17 shots, maintaining a save percentage of 100 percent during even strength play. However, it was evident that there's room for improvement in power play situations and faceoff win percentages which stood at 33 percent during power plays.
