Game Preview

The Tampa Bay Lightning are eager to get back on the ice after a week-long break, hoping to snap a four-game losing streak (0-3-1). They return Thursday to face the red-hot Winnipeg Jets, who currently hold the NHL’s best record and come into Tampa with a seven-game winning streak.

The Lightning had hoped the break would allow Brayden Point to recover and rejoin the top line after an injury against Winnipeg on November 3. However, Point’s return is still uncertain as he missed practice, and the team called up Gage Goncalves, who has filled in for Point in the last two games. Defenseman Erik Cernak, recovering from a blocked shot, appears closer to rejoining the lineup.

Coach Jon Cooper noted that getting players healthy is key, saying, "This break is a chance for us to reset." Point’s absence has been felt, as he ranks second on the team with eight goals and leads in power-play goals with five.

Meanwhile, Winnipeg’s success has been unrelenting, with only one loss this season. The Jets opened a three-game road trip with a 6-3 victory over the New York Rangers, continuing their perfect 7-0-0 road record. Despite an injury to defenseman Logan Stanley, the Jets showed resilience, with Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor each netting two goals.

With the Jets on a roll and the Lightning looking to regain their form, this matchup presents a high-stakes clash between a surging team and one seeking to turn things around.
