SALT LAKE CITY (AP) \u2014 Jake Guentzel<\/a> snapped a tie in the third period, and the Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a> beat the Utah Mammoth<\/a> 4-2 on Sunday for their fifth consecutive win.<\/p>\n

Yanni Gourde<\/a>, Anthony Cirelli<\/a>, and Brandon Hagel<\/a> also scored for Tampa Bay, and Jonas Johansson<\/a> stopped 25 shots. It was Cirelli\u2019s team-high seventh goal this season.<\/p>\n

Lawson Crouse<\/a> and Kailer Yamamoto<\/a> scored for Utah, which dropped a home game for the first time this season after opening with four straight wins in Salt Lake City. Ian Cole<\/a> had two assists, and Karel Vejmelka<\/a> made 22 saves.<\/p>\n

Utah had scored at least three goals in eight straight games.<\/p>\n

The Mammoth jumped in front 5:55 into the first when Crouse snapped the puck home on a breakaway. <\/p>\n

Tampa Bay responded with 4:43 left in the period. Gourde finished off a series of precision passes with an easy tap-in after drawing Vejmelka out of position.<\/p>\n

Cirelli made it 2-1 at 2:47 of the second, beating Vejmelka from just outside the face-off circle.<\/p>\n

After Yamamoto scored his first goal of the season 2:21 into the third, Tampa Bay countered with Guentzel\u2019s unassisted goal with 7:54 remaining. Guentzel attacked from the backside and snapped the puck in from close range.<\/p>\n

Hagel\u2019s empty-netter with 16 seconds left capped the scoring. <\/p>\n
