Lecavalier, Lightning shoot for fifth straight victory

Jan 15, 2007 - 1:37 PM Tampa Bay (23-21-2) at NY Islanders (21-19-4) 12:00 pm EST

UNIONDALE, New York (Ticker) -- Vincent Lecavalier has the Tampa Bay headed in the right direction.

Lecavalier and the Lightning look to extend their longest winning streak of the season Monday when they visit the New York Islanders.

After getting off to a disappointing start this season, Tampa Bay has battled back into contention in the Southeast Division thanks to its season-high four-game winning streak.

The Lightning hope to carry some momentum from Saturday's 3-2 triumph over the Buffalo Sabres - the top club in the Eastern Conference.

Brad Richards scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period and Lecavalier tallied for the third straight game. Tampa Bay's leader in assists (33) and points (60), Lecavalier has six goals and five assists during his six-game points streak.

The Islanders had their two-game winning streak snapped in a 2-1 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils on Saturday. Miroslav Satan scored the lone goal for New York while Rick DiPietro made 28 saves.

Satan has three goals and four assists over his five-game points streak.
