The Tampa Bay Lightning go for their fourth straight win Sunday when they visit the Winnipeg Jets at Canada Life Centre at 6 p.m. ET. It is Tampa Bay’s second game in two nights after a 4–3 overtime win against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.

Nikita Kucherov scored the winner in Minnesota. He and Winnipeg’s Mark Scheifele each have eight points over their last five games, according to the NHL’s matchup data.

Tampa Bay won the first meeting 6–4 at home on Oct. 29. Pontus Holmberg had a goal and three assists in that game. Winnipeg enters the rematch with two straight wins.
