Tampa Bay won its last five games heading into the break to put itself four points ahead of Washington in the Southeast, and it’s two games into a 12-game homestand - where it’s 16-4-2. Simon Gagne scored twice in a 7-1 win over Atlanta on Jan. 23, then Dwayne Roloson made 26 saves in a 2-0 win over Toronto last Tuesday. What’s most amazing is how they’re doing it. Tampa Bay is 16-3-5 in one-goal games, making up for having surrendered more goals than it’s scored. Despite often struggling on the back end in the season’s first two months, the Lightning are getting better. They’ve given up one goal or fewer in 11 of their last 21 games, and five of those have occurred in the 10 games Roloson’s started since he was acquired Jan. 1. Roloson is 4-1-0 with a 1.61 goals-against average and two shutouts at home.
Philadelphia stumbled out of the gate at 3-4-1, but has since been the East’s most consistent team. The Flyers immediately followed that start with a 9-0-1 stretch, and they kicked off January with eight wins in their first nine games. They went into the break on a high note as well. Philadelphia avenged its finals loss with a 4-1 win at Chicago on Jan. 23, then scored three power-play goals in a 5-2 victory over Montreal last Tuesday to pace the East with 71 points. With two more wins than Vancouver, which also has 71 points, the Flyers lead the Presidents’ Trophy race after 50 games for the first time since 1986-87.
