A poor start and an early deficit was too much for the Tampa Bay Lightning to overcome, and their longest winning streak in over two years ended as a result. Facing the last-place New York Islanders gives them a good chance to start a new one. The Lightning look to complete a sweep of their season series with the struggling Islanders on Saturday afternoon when the teams meet at Nassau Coliseum. Tampa Bay gave up five straight goals in the first 24:53 Thursday and the team’s rally fell short in a 5-4 loss to visiting Boston. The defeat halted the Lightning’s four-gamewinning streak, during which they outscored opponents 12-5 - including a 5-2 home win over the Islanders on Feb. 4.

The Lightning have moved into a tie with the Bruins for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference by going 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. Tampa Bay has outscored the Islanders 13-4 in winning all three season meetings, including a 4-2 win at Nassau Coliseum on Dec. 21. They last swept theseason series when they accomplished the feat in consecutive seasons from 2005-07. St. Louis has played a key role in those victories with one goal and five assists, while Steven Stamkos has scored three goals and set up two others.
