Tampa Bay has beaten the Ducks five straight times and eight of nine although this is the first meeting this season. Anaheim had its three-game win streak snapped in a 3-2 loss at Edmonton on Friday and the Ducks have lost four of five to the Atlantic Division. The Lightning have won seven of 10 versus Western Conference teams and they have won five of the past six road games at Anaheim. Jonas Johansson is likely to give Andrei Vasilevskiy a break in the Tampa Bay net and Johansson has won three of his past four starts. Vasilevskiy hasn't gotten much support from his offensive side recently. The Ducks still are second-worst in the NHL with only 97 goals scored this season while Tampa Bay is above the playoff cut line in the Eastern Conference. Take the Lightning.
