An in-form Tampa Bay Lightning seeks a fifth consecutive win on Wednesday night against the Calgary Flames at the Benchmark International Arena.
After losing six of their first seven games of the season, the Lightning have transformed into a completely different team this month. Jon Cooper's men have won 12 of their last 15 games, climbing to the top of the Atlantic Division.
Several players have returned to form on the Tampa Bay roster, including goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy, who has allowed only three goals during his last four starts. In Monday's matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers, Vasilevskiy recorded his first shutout of the season with 20 saves.
Just like the Lightning, Calgary has also improved recently, winning three games on the bounce. The NHL's second-lowest scoring team has finally produced some consistent offense, scoring 14 times in the past three games.
Defenseman Rasmus Andersson has been a key figure in the Flames' recent turn of fortune. He heads into Wednesday's matchup with a five-game point streak, having racked up two goals and eight assists during that stretch. Andersson has finished with three points in two of the most recent three Flames wins.

Our Calgary Flames vs Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction
Tampa Bay has just recorded a shutout, and getting pucks past an in-form Andrei Vasilevskiy can seem like an impossible task. However, the Lightning defense has been overachieving recently and could soon crash back to earth.
Victor Hedman, Ryan McDonagh, and Erik Cernak are all out, leaving Tampa Bay without three on the team's top-four defenseman. Additionally, Maxwell Crozier is also sidelined. That's a lot of quality missing from the back, and the visitors could certainly use it to their advantage on Wednesday.
Our prediction for Calgary Flames vs. Tampa Bay Lightning: Flames over 2.5 goals.
