Steven Stamkos scored his 23rd goal of the season and Martin St. Louis had a goal and an assist to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 2-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.
The Lightning ended their three game losing streak as newly hired head coach Jon Cooper looked on from high above the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
The Bolts outshot the Sabres 23-14 and killed off all four Buffalo power plays.
