BOTTOM LINE: The Tampa Bay Lightning play the Anaheim Ducks in a non-conference matchup. Tampa Bay is 13-6-1 in home games and 23-16-3 overall. The Lightning have gone 5-6-2 in games decided by one goal. Anaheim is 9-10-3 in road games and 18-21-5 overall. The Ducks have conceded 137 goals while scoring 106 for a -31 scoring differential.

In its trio of road tilts (1-1-1), the Lightning's results spanned the hockey gamut -- an overtime loss in New Jersey plus handing out a rout in Pittsburgh and being on the receiving end of one in Boston. Anaheim arrives for the fifth game of its East Coast journey -- a bumpy flight so far from the Ducks' perspective.

Although the Ducks beat the Lightning by three goals on Jan. 5, they have, more recently, been battered on their season-long road trip. The Ducks sandwiched the only win on a journey that began with two lopsided losses between a pair of shutouts by their opponents.
