As expected, the Tampa Bay Lightning sit near the top of the Eastern Conference standings, and they've continued to climb a variety of power rankings over the last few weeks. The Lightning have put up some standout performances en route to their 6-3-1 start, paced by strong individual performances.

Twenty-three of the Lightning's 34 goals have come during five-on-five play. Unfortunately, 14 of the Lightning's 34 goals have come in two games (against Montreal and Arizona).
