TAMPA, Fla. — The surging Tampa Bay Lightning are piling up goals and victories.

Ondrej Palat and Anton Stralman both scored twice, Tyler Johnson had a goal and two assists and the Lightning beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-3 on Friday night for their eighth consecutive home win.

“I think we all believe that we have a pretty good offense when we’re rolling,” Johnson said. “I don’t know if we’ve seen that throughout the entire season, but for this last streak I think the offense has been alive.”

Tampa Bay, 10-1 overall since Jan. 8, also got a goal from Alex Killorn. Nikita Kucherov had two assists to give him a point in 21 of his last 25 games (17 assists, 32 points).

The Lightning have scored three or more goals in eight of the past 11 games.

Patric Hornqvist, Sidney Crosby and Matt Cullen scored for the Penguins, who had a four-game winning streak end and lost in regulation for just the fourth time in 18 games (10-4-4). Marc-Andre Fleury was pulled midway through the second after allowing four goals on 14 shots and replaced by Jeff Zatkoff.

“A little bit of trying to alter the flow,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said of removing Fleury. “The goals that went in were, I think, high-quality chances. I was trying to change the momentum of the game.”

Crosby moved within one point of becoming the 106th NHL player to reach 900 points. If he gets the point in his next two games, Crosby will become the 10th-fastest to the milestone.

Penguins center Evgeni Malkin is dealing with a lower-body injury and didn’t play. The team’s leading scorer will also sit out Saturday’s game at Florida and will be re-evaluated next week.
