ST. LOUIS, MO — The Lightning enter play Friday riding an 11-game winning streak. That ties the franchise record set in 2020. The Bolts are an NHL-best 17-4-3 on the road this season.

Forward Nikita Kucherov had a ten-game point streak snapped Tuesday in Pittsburgh, but he delivered the game-winning goal in the shootout to keep Tampa Bay’s streak alive.

The Lightning are scoring 3.51 goals per game, good for second in the league. They’re allowing 2.56 goals per game, which is second-fewest.

The Blues' defense is tied for third in the league with five shutouts this season. Robert Thomas paces St. Louis with 11 goals and 22 assists.
