Frank Vatrano had two goals and assist after signing a three-year contract extension earlier Sunday in the Ducks’ 4-1 victory over Tampa Bay.

TAMPA — When the Lightning left for their three-game trip to California, they left their offense back at home. They had the best scoring offense in the league, averaging 3.94 goals per game. But in losses at San Jose, Los Angeles and Anaheim, Tampa Bay scored a combined three goals.

The loss is the fourth straight for Tampa Bay. Troy Terry and Frank Vatrano scored in the first period for the home team, but Lightning forward Jake Guentzel’s power-play goal in the second period halved the Ducks’ advantage.

BOTTOM LINE: The Tampa Bay Lightning play the Anaheim Ducks in a non-conference matchup. Tampa Bay is 13-6-1 in home games and 23-16-3 overall. The Lightning have gone 5-6-2 in games decided by one goal. Anaheim is 9-10-3 in road games and 18-21-5 overall. The Ducks have conceded 137 goals while scoring 106 for a -31 scoring differential.

In its trio of road tilts (1-1-1), the Lightning's results spanned the hockey gamut -- an overtime loss in New Jersey plus handing out a rout in Pittsburgh and being on the receiving end of one in Boston. Anaheim arrives for the fifth game of its East Coast journey -- a bumpy flight so far from the Ducks' perspective.

Although the Ducks beat the Lightning by three goals on Jan. 5, they have, more recently, been battered on their season-long road trip. The Ducks sandwiched the only win on a journey that began with two lopsided losses between a pair of shutouts by their opponents.
