Here are three reasons to like the Lightning’s new-look power play. Thursday’s moves were transformative, because the personnel and positional changes made it difficult to tell which was the top unit and which was the second. Point men Victor Hedman and Darren Raddysh switched units, with Brayden Point and Jake Guentzel matched with Raddysh.

The Tampa Bay Lightning's acquisition of star winger Jake Guentzel is paying off in spades, and the Bolts look like a team no one should want to face off against in the playoffs.

Jake Guentzel scored the only goal in the shootout and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-3 on Thursday night. Brayden Point, Anthony Cirelli and Guentzel scored for Tampa Bay during regulation while Andrei Vasilevskiy finished with 34 saves and stopped all three shots he faced in the shootout.

Robby Fabbri, Troy Terry and Leo Carlsson score for the Ducks, who fall to 1-3-1 on their six-game trip when Guentzel scores the only goal for either team in the shootout to hand them a 4-3 defeat.

Many Tampa Bay Lightning fans were quite upset by the team's decision to let Steven Stamkos walk, even if it meant bringing in Jake Guentzel ... Brayden Point and Brandon Hagel with 49 points ...

Jake Guentzel scored the only goal in the shootout ... Dostal stopped a pair of Brandon Hagel short-handed breakaways on the same Anaheim power play in the third period that kept the Ducks within ...

Paul buried a shot-pass by Brandon Hagel near the net on the power play to make it 4-3 less than two minutes after Knies’ second goal. Tampa Bay forward Brayden Point appeared to tie the game late with a backhand shot that hit the crossbar, but the puck bounced through the crease without crossing the goal line.
