TAMPA, Fla. — The Lightning have been one of the league’s best teams at home, and reeling from their longest losing streak in nine years, a stretch of games at Amalie Arena was just what this team needed.
Coming off road losses on back-to-back days against Buffalo and Carolina, the Lightning were trying to get their swagger back. As their recent struggles continued, players admitted that they had lost some of the confidence that has made them such a successful team.
Their 5-2 home win over the struggling Flyers (24-29-11, 59 points) was definitely a step forward, snapping their five-game losing streak.
