Lightning look to snap three-game skid

Dec 29, 2007 - 12:42 PM Philadelphia (17-14-4) at Tampa Bay (15-20-3) 1:00 pm EST

TAMPA, Florida (Ticker) - With a four-game road trip looming, the Tampa Bay Lightning are desperate to stop their current slide.

Vincent Lecavalier, who is the NHL's leading scorer, tries to help the Lightning end a three-game losing streak when they host the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.

Lecavalier leads the club with 25 goals and 55 points this season, but Tampa Bay has still lost six of seven games and fallen into a tie with the Washington Capitals at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings.

One of the Lightning's biggest problems has been their defense - their 126 goals allowed ranks 28th in the NHL.

The Flyers just ended a six-game skid, defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs, 4-1, on Thursday behind goaltender Martin Biron's impressive 34-save performance.

Philadelphia, however, has failed to win on the road since December 5, losing three straight away from the Wachovia Center.

The Lightning have beaten the Flyers in 12 of 13 meetings.
