The Tampa Bay Lightning extended their winning streak to four games with a thrilling 5-3 road win over the New York Islanders, and on today's episode of Lightning Power Lunch, Dave Mishkin and Greg Linnelli break down everything that led to the victory. From Brandon Hagel's hat trick to another timely power-play goal and several game-saving stops from Andrei Vasilevskiy, the Bolts continue to build momentum early in the season.
The guys discuss how the Lightning built another early two-goal lead, why the Islanders pushed back so effectively, and how Tampa Bay weathered its most sustained pressure of the four-game winning streak. They also examine Hagel's dominant performance, Jake Guentzel's two-goal night, and the growing signs that the Lightning power play may be finding its rhythm after goals in back-to-back games.
Plus, thoughts on Max Crozier's role in the 11-forward, 7-defenseman alignment, the continued impact of the Zemgus Girgensons-Pontus Holmberg-Ilya Mikheyev line, the future of Dominic James, and why rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer looks destined to become a superstar for the Islanders.
