In winning the first two games of this residency, the Lightning have won back- to-back contests for the first time since a four-game run from Nov. 22-Dec. 1. But despite those struggles, Tampa Bay still leads the Atlantic Division by a point over the Detroit Red Wings. The Lightning followed up a win over Pittsburgh before the Christmas break with Saturdays 2-1 decision over the Carolina Hurricanes. Nikita Kucherov and Alex Killorn had the goals, with Kucherov having amassed six goals and five assists over his past eight games. The 21-year-olds 15 goals on the season are second on the club, behind only Steven Stamkos 19. Ben Bishop made 25 saves to beat the Hurricanes for the fifth time in as many career starts against them. He came within 5:56 of recording a shutout in his return to action after missing the previous four games with a lower-body injury. I dont know if it was going to go down as the most exciting game of the year. The puck was bouncing all over the place, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.

Bishop is likely to start tonight and is 3-5-0 in his career when facing the Maple Leafs with a 3.14 goals against average and .885 save percentage in 10 games. Lightning forward Jonathan Drouin is unlikely to play tonight due to illness, while defenseman Jason Garrison remains out with an undisclosed injury.

James van Riemsdyk, Nazem Kadri, Richard Panik and Roman Polak had second- period goals for Toronto, while James Reimer was given a late starting assignment with Jonathan Bernier suffering from flu-like symptoms. It marked the first time in 15 games this season that Toronto lost when leading after two periods. I think everyone was a little rusty, said Reimer. We played well for the most part, just stinks we lost that lead in the third. Toronto also saw the early exit of Panik with an upper-body injury after he took a big hit in the game. Reimer was backed up on Sunday by Christopher Gibson and it is unknown if Bernier is well enough to start this game. He is 3-0-0 with a 1.67 GAA and .952 save percentage in three starts versus the Lightning, while Reimer is only 2-5-0 against them with a 3.12 GAA and .901 save percentage.

The All-Star left-hander scattered five hits in eight-plus innings to win his fourth consecutive start and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-0 on Sunday. Price (9-7), who had his start pushed back one day due to being ill, struck out five and walked one. He was pulled after giving up a leadoff single in the ninth to Melky Cabrera. "Everything was working," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "They werent getting comfortable swings on him. Really fun to watch."

Tampa Bay went ahead 2-0 during the sixth thanks to a video replay.
