Tampa Bay Lightning finding ways to win despite not playing its best; Mike Smith stays in net
Okay, first the good news: the Tampa Bay Lightning is on a 3-0-1 road streak and is 6-1-4 in its past 11 games overall with points in 10. Now consider this: Tampa Bay has been outshot in eight straight games and in 13 of its past 14.
