Lightning Break Losing Streak with Hurricanes Win

The Tampa Bay Lightning recently snapped a four-game losing streak with a thrilling 3-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes, thanks to Brayden Point's decisive last-minute goal. Nikita Kucherov assisted Point's game-winning goal, and goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy made 31 saves to secure the win. This victory marked Tampa Bay's first win in 2025 and their dominance against Metropolitan Division teams with an 8-1-2 record. Prior to this, the Lightning had lost four consecutive games, including a 4-1 defeat to the Anaheim Ducks, where they struggled in the first period despite dominating possession metrics. Anaheim has been performing well, led by Troy Terry, who has consistently contributed to their recent wins over strong teams like the Edmonton Oilers and New Jersey Devils. As the Lightning face a challenging road trip, they will look to build on their recent victory against the Hurricanes.
