Don't think I shared this yet on here. I barely requires an explanation, other than to say, watch out for an appearance by the Rays' finest toward the end...

Bolts (finally) break their streak
We should be used to the Lightning by now, but even by their standards the 12-game losing streak was beginning to look terminal. And then, out of nowhere, they find seven goals to beat the Capitals at home.
They still shipped four at their end, mind you, but a win is a win is a win. And guess who scored the go-ahead goal...
Yes, it was Martin St. Louis who came the Bolts' rescue yet again after his team had managed to blow a three-goal lead. His 250th career goal put Tampa Bay up 5-4 with 2:32 left in the second period to extend his point streak to 11 games.
This report from AP: 'Steven Stamkos had a pair of power-play goals as the Lightning took a 4-1 first-period lead. Vincent Lecavalier, Stephane Veilleux, Kurtis Foster and Halpern had the other Lightning goals. St. Louis added two assists.
'Washington, which lost to Tampa Bay for the first time since a 5-2 loss on Nov. 16, 2007, got two goals from Mike Green. Alexander Semin and Eric Fehr also scored for the Southeast Division leaders.
'Foster and Halpern extended the Lightning advantage to 7-4 in the third. Lecavalier and Stamkos put the Lightning up 2-0 midway through the first. After Semin scored at 14:05, Tampa Bay went up 4-1 when Stamkos got his 25th goal of the season and Veilleux scored his first goal in 23 games late in the period.
'Green had two power-play goals in the second, including one that tied it at 4 with 7:52 left in the period. Fehr also scored during the second.'
Well, we've said it before, we'll say it again, life is never dull following the Bolts. And in a sort of masochistic way, long may it continue.
