02/26/2007 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brad Richards had a goal and three assists as Tampa Bay continued its dominance over Pittsburgh with a 5-1 victory at St. Pete Times Forum.
Martin St. Louis posted a goal and an assist while Ruslan Fedotenko and Eric Perrin each finished with two assists for the Lightning, who have won 12 straight against the Penguins and six in a row on home ice.
Paul Ranger, Filip Kuba and Vincent Lecavalier also scored and Johan Holmqvist needed to make just 17 saves for head coach John Tortorella's 200th win with Tampa Bay.
Sergei Gonchar tallied the lone score and Jocelyn Thibault gave up three goals on 15 shots beforing getting pulled early in the second period for Pittsburgh, which has dropped two of its last three contests after a six-game winning streak.
The Lightning got off to a fast start, as St. Louis registered a power play tally 2:17 into the opening period and Ranger scored less than two minutes later to make it 2-0.
Kuba then handed Tampa Bay a three-goal advantage early in the second period before Pittsburgh took advantage of a 5-on-3 power play to finally get on the board on Gonchar's tally at the 8:26 mark.
However, Richards restored Tampa Bay's three-goal lead just 1:31 into the third period, scoring off a nice give-and-go with Perrin. Lecavalier then put the finishing touches on the game with a short-handed goal with 5:44 left to play.
Things got testy after the final horn sounded as Pittsburgh's Maxime Talbot and Tampa Bay's Nick Tarnasky exchanged fisticuffs as the officials intervened.
Game Notes
St. Louis tied a career-high with 38 goals for the year, while Lecavalier's goal gave him 41 for the season, one score away from tying the Lightning franchise record...Pittsburgh went 1-for-4 on the power play...Tampa Bay went 1-for-2 with the man-advantage.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.
