TAMPA, Fla. (Interstat) — The Pittsburgh Penguins, buoyed by a decisive win, will visit the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night in a matchup of Eastern Conference teams trending in opposite directions. The Penguins (13-12-0) arrive at Amalie Arena following a 5-1 road victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday. Captain Sidney Crosby led the way with two goals, while goaltender Tristan Jarry stopped 28 shots. The win snapped a two-game skid and improved Pittsburgh to 3-1-0 in its last four. The Lightning (16-10-0), however, are looking to rebound after a 2-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Tuesday, which ended a three-game win streak. Despite the setback, Tampa Bay has been strong at home and has won seven of its last 10 contests overall. Thursday’s game pits Pittsburgh’s recent momentum against Tampa Bay’s established home-ice advantage. The Lightning’s offense, which has averaged four goals per game during its recent hot stretch, will test a Penguins team that has been inconsistent defensively. Following this contest, the Penguins begin a three-game road trip through Dallas, Ottawa and Montreal. The Lightning will remain at home to host the New York Islanders on Saturday before embarking on a four-game road swing.
