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.

Anthony Cirelli? He bleeds. Those are all compliments, by the way. Shorthand for a signature style of play. Point, the world knows, is quick and elusive. Kucherov, we’ve all come to understand, is a visionary in skates.

Tampa Bay does everything but score against Detroit and has nothing to show for it in another loss to a division opponent.
