UNDATED (AP) – The Tampa Bay Lightning extended their winning streak while inching closer to the NHL’s overall lead.  Yanni Gourde’s goal 2:45 into overtime completed the Lightning’s eighth consecutive win, 2-1 over the Penguins. Gourde’s seventh goal of the season created a mob scene near the Pittsburgh net as Tampa Bay improved to 20-2-1 since Dec. 23.  Mikhail Sergachev scored his ninth goal and Andrei Vasilevskiy  stopped 35 shots to help the Bolts get within one point of the division-leading Bruins.  Evgeni Malkin got his 18th goal for the Penguins, who climbed within three points of the Metropolitan Division-leading Capitals.
