USA TODAY: —RW Nik Antropov, who got the winner, has four goals in his past six games. He scored his 14th of the season when he crashed his way to the net and beat Lightning goalie Marc Denis.
«We have to use our size to block guys out," said Antropov, who is 6-foot-6, 230 pounds. «It doesn't matter how pretty they are, as long as they go in.»
Said coach Paul Maurice: «Nik, Mats and Alex (Ponikarovsky) are starting to build some chemistry. Nik actually looks fast now.»
