Lightning Rumblings: back to MSG they go, more work into special teams

The Tampa Bay Lightning carry a four-game winning streak into Tuesday's rematch against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Following an opening-night loss, head coach Jon Cooper noted his satisfaction with how the team responded to build a 4-1-0 start, leaving them in a three-way tie for first place by points with the Ottawa Senators and Boston Bruins.

Tampa Bay continues to focus on special teams, having scored a power-play goal in two consecutive games after tweaking roles between Brayden Point and Jake Guentzel. Meanwhile, the penalty kill remains an area for refinement, currently ranking 25th in the NHL at 72.7% after allowing two goals on four attempts across the past two contests.
