Their recent victory against the Oilers showcased their offensive capabilities, with a 5-3 win that highlighted their strength in even-strength situations and an impressive goaltending performance that kept the opposition at bay. This win was particularly notable for its contribution from various players, indicating a well-rounded team effort.

However, consistency has been a challenge for the Ducks this season. With a record that includes both wins and losses in close succession, it's clear that maintaining momentum will be key against a team like Tampa Bay Lightning. The ability to capitalize on powerplay opportunities and improve faceoff win percentages could be decisive factors in securing victory.
