ANAHEIM -- Frank Vatrano had two goals and an assist for the Anaheim Ducks in a 4-1 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Honda Center on Sunday. The performance came after Vatrano signed a three-year, $18 million contract with the Ducks earlier in the day.

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.

Sam Reinhart leads the Panthers in goals (27) and points (51), while Matthew Tkachuk is second in both points (40) and assists (26). Recently named the “Athlete of the Year” in his native Finland, captain Aleksander Barkov ranks third in points (38) and first in assists (27).

We are firmly into the second half with a neck-and-neck-and-neck race for the top of the fantasy podium. Connor Hellebuyck will surely start getting some additional rest later in the season, so the race at the top right now is between Nikita Kucherov and Nathan MacKinnon.

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.
