No, not every game.

The first power play goes to the Lightning. Cogliano thought he would get away with that trip.

man too bad heiskanen didnt get that 

[-Vintage Canuck-]

That was a good penalty kill for the Stars as they allowed no shots.

I agree.

The Lightning seem to be in control right now with possession in the Stars end.

The Lightning are 7-for-15 over the past five games. If they didn't make you pay on the first time, they will on the second time as witnessed by Point's goal.

This Tampa team has a really solid combination of speed, puck pressure, and grittyness - the will of even their talented players to play a harder game and be harder to play against - a pretty deep and balanced group, probably moreso than in the past. Not hard to see why Dallas is having difficulty handling them where they managed to get by Vegas.   Tampa just looks like a team that is always transitioning so quickly as a group - with a 5th gear that no other team can really match in the present.
