Lightning Secure 5-3 Victory Over Blue Jackets in Hard-Fought Home Return

Tampa Bay extends its winning streak to three games as Jake Guentzel scores in a seventh consecutive match, setting a season-long NHL record.

Jake Guentzel's second-period goal marked his seventh consecutive game scoring, the longest streak in the NHL this season.
Nick Paul had a standout performance with a goal and two assists, contributing heavily to the Lightning's four-goal lead by the second period.
Mitchell Chaffee scored his first career power-play goal during a five-minute advantage following a heated altercation involving Cole Sillinger and Conor Geekie.
The Blue Jackets mounted a late-game comeback with three third-period goals, but Brayden Point's empty-netter secured the win for Tampa Bay.
Columbus defenseman Dante Fabbro left the game with an apparent leg injury, further complicating the Blue Jackets' struggles during their fifth straight loss.
