Tampa Bay Lightning extend their winning streak to five games with a 4-2 victory over division-leading Utah. Can Anthony Cirelli maintain his MVP-caliber pace while leading the league's third-ranked penalty kill?

Nick Morgan and Greg Stephen break down the Lightning's clutch performance, highlighting Cirelli's seventh goal and game-changing face-off wins that directly set up two Tampa Bay scores. The discussion covers Jonas Johansson's stellar goaltending that's silencing critics, Jake Genszel's team-leading 12 points, and Victor Hedman's uncharacteristic struggles with five giveaways. Key topics include the Lightning's improved defensive play during the streak, Yanni Gord's surprising resurgence on the third line, and the goaltending workload debate between Andrei Vasilevskiy and Johansson.

The hosts rank their top three Lightning MVPs for October, debating between Cirelli's two-way dominance, Genszel's consistent production, Ryan McDonagh's penalty kill excellence, and Gord's unexpected impact at age 36.

Discover which players are driving Tampa Bay's turnaround and whether this five-game surge signals a legitimate playoff contender.
