Tampa Bay Lightning Extend Five-Game Win Streak Over Utah Mammoth

The Tampa Bay Lightning extended their winning streak to five games with a 4-2 victory over the Utah Mammoth in Salt Lake City. Key contributors included Jake Guentzel, who scored the decisive third-period goal, along with Yanni Gourde, Anthony Cirelli, and Brandon Hagel, while goaltender Jonas Johansson stopped 25 shots. Utah opened the scoring with Lawson Crouse and Kailer Yamamoto finding the net but ultimately fell short despite their strong home record and scoring streak. The Lightning demonstrated improved defensive discipline and balanced offense, with notable special teams play and a .952 save percentage from Johansson during the streak.
