The Tampa Bay Lightning will be heading out on the road on Monday night to take on the Pittsburgh Penguins, who have won 10 of their 15 home games this season. During the 2013-14 season, the Penguins won all three of their games against the Lightning.

Tampa Bay has now lost three out of their last four games after losing 4-2 to the Washington Capitals on Saturday night. Goalie Ben Bishop struggled in that loss, giving up three goals and finishing with a low .889 save percentage.

The Lightning are the top scoring team in the Eastern Conference and are also in the top 10 in the NHL in power play percentage. Center Steven Stamkos has 17 goals and 17 assists through 31 games this year, while Tyler Johnson currently leads the team in assists with 21.

On Saturday night, the Penguins scored late in the third period of their game against the Columbus Blue Jackets to send the game into overtime, but they still ended up losing 4-3 in the shootout. Pittsburgh did end up with a 36-27 shooting advantage in that loss, but they also went 0-for-4 on the power play.

Through 29 games, the Penguins are in the top five in the league in both scoring and power play percentage. Goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has had a very strong start to the season by going 16-4-2 with five shutouts, a 2.10 GAA and a .926 save percentage.
