Lightning’s Road Success Becoming A Key to Stanley Cup Hopes

CHICAGO (AP) — Thousands of fans crowded Curtis Hixon Park in Tampa to watch Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final, braving both rain and 92-degree Florida heat while celebrating another victory for the Tampa Bay Lightning hundreds of miles to the north.

The way their team is playing on the road, those fans might hope the Lightning don’t come home until they’ve got the Stanley Cup.

Tampa Bay has won four straight road games by a combined 13-4, the culmination of a remarkable turnaround for a subpar regular-season road team. The Lightning are 8-3 on the road in the postseason, with a chance to add a ninth win in Game 4 on Wednesday night.
