They're on an incredible 10 game win streak but the Tampa Bay Lightning are not letting up as the push for the playoffs begins.  Just got this from the team:

"The Tampa Bay Lightning have acquired forward Blake Coleman from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for forward Nolan Foote and Vancouver’s first-round pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft (previously acquired by Tampa Bay), vice president and general manager Julien BriseBois announced today. However, if Vancouver fails to qualify for the 2020 NHL playoffs, New Jersey shall receive Vancouver’s first-round selection in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft instead of the pick in 2020. He ranks tied for first on New Jersey for goals and is fourth for points."

The trade is getting mixed reaction so far on Twitter.
