Fri Feb 28 02:20:00 UTC 2025: **Lightning Aim for Seventh Straight Win Against Calgary Flames**

TAMPA, FL – The Tampa Bay Lightning look to extend their winning streak to seven games tonight as they host the Calgary Flames at Amalie Arena. The Lightning, currently riding high after 4-1 victories over Seattle and Edmonton, boast a strong advantage on paper, but the Flames are coming off two wins themselves, including a 3-1 victory over the Washington Capitals.

Goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy has been instrumental in Tampa Bay’s recent success. Over his last eight starts, he’s posted a remarkable 7-0-1 record with a .941 save percentage and 1.88 goals-against average, facing a league-high 253 shots. While the Lightning are allowing more shots and high-danger chances than earlier in the season, Vasilevskiy’s stellar play has been the key to their winning streak.

The Flames, clinging to a second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, are on a six-game eastern road trip. Recent additions to their roster, including forwards Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost, and defenseman Joel Hanley, will add a different dynamic to tonight’s matchup compared to their previous encounter with the Lightning, an 8-3 Tampa Bay victory in December.

For the Lightning to continue their winning streak, they must maintain their strong net-front presence and limit high-danger chances, areas of improvement from earlier in the season. The Flames, known for their tight defense, will provide a formidable test for Tampa Bay’s offense. Puck drop is scheduled for [Time] at Amalie Arena.
