Reunited top line leads Lightning to 6th consecutive win

The Tampa Bay Lightning won their sixth consecutive game Sunday, beating the division rival Boston Bruins 4-1, thanks in large part to their red-hot top line of Steven Stamkos, Alex Killorn, and Ryan Callahan.

Callahan had two goals and an assists while his linemates each added a goal and a helper on the night. At the other end, Ben Bishop shut the door with 32 saves to help Tampa Bay move two points ahead of Boston for sole position of second place in the Atlantic.

The Lightning reunited their former first line on Feb. 16, and though they lost that night's game to the San Jose Sharks, the team hasn't looked back since. In their last seven games together, the three players have combined for an incredible 28 points.

Stamkos' goal, which came via penalty shot, extended his league-best goal-scoring streak to six games. It's his longest such streak since a seven-game run in 2010.

Sunday's matchup was the beginning of a three-game Lightning road trip against Atlantic Division opponents. They will visit the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday before taking on the Ottawa Senators on Thursday.
