While the Tampa Bay Lightning can still advance to the postseason for the first time in three seasons, they don’t have much time to get back on track.

The Lightning look to snap a four-game road losing streak Thursday and post a fourth straight win at Air Canada Centre as they face the Eastern Conference-worst Toronto Maple Leafs.

Despite losing six of seven, Tampa Bay (27-27-11) is in 11th place in the East and five points back of Boston for the eighth and final playoff spot with a month left in the regular season.

Second-year center Steven Stamkos has been doing his best to carry the Lightning to their first postseason appearance since 2006-07, but not even his franchise-record 17-game point streak has been enough to curb the team’s poor play. He has 16 goals and 15 assists during this stretch.

Stamkos has five points in the last two meetings with Toronto but had none in the Lightning’s only visit to Air Canada Centre this season — a 2-1 overtime victory Nov. 3.

Ryan Malone had the game-winner in that matchup, but he could miss his second straight contest with an upper-body injury. He’s gone 14 games without scoring since tallying a third-period, game-tying goal in a 3-2 overtime win over the Maple Leafs on Jan. 21.

Tampa Bay hasn’t had problems scoring lately — averaging 3.5 goals in its last 10 games — but likely needs a better effort in net to avoid its first five-game slide on the road since an 0-5-2 stretch from Nov. 28-Dec. 17. The Lightning have given up five goals in four straight road games and are allowing a league-high 3.67 per game away from home.
