Lightning host Islanders looking to end slide

Feb 7, 2009 - 12:48 PM NY Islanders (16-30-5) at Tampa Bay (17-24-11), 7:30 pm EST

TAMPA, Florida (Ticker) -- The Tampa Bay Lightning hope a visit from the New York Islanders on Saturday can help them snap a four-game losing streak.

Following Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Islanders, the Lightning suffered a 4-3 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday.

Captain Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis each recorded a goal and an assist for Tampa Bay, which squandered a three-goal lead in the third period before surrendering the game-winner with 16 seconds left in the extra session.

Lecavalier leads the slumping Lightning with 24 goals this season, while St. Louis has posted a team-leading 31 assists and 50 points.

Owners of the worst record in the NHL, New York had its season-long, four-game winning streak snapped with Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Florida Panthers.

Rookie Josh Bailey and Trent Hunter scored power-play goals for the Islanders, who have endured losing streaks of eight and 10 games this season.
