The veteran center gave Florida a 2-0 lead a little under eight minutes into the first period, ripping a rebound past Jeremy Swayman from the slot.

Frost is up to 19 goals, 39 points, 123 shots on net, 51 hits, 36 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating over 75 appearances. Frost's next goal would give him 20 in a season for the first time, and he's also on the verge of his third 40-point campaign.

Rickard Rakell C | PIT
Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Streak at six games, nine points
Rakell scored a goal Thursday in a 6-3 loss to the Lightning.
Rakell's goal streak stands at three games (four), and his point streak sits at six games (seven goals, two assists). He has 19 shots in that span. It took Rakell a bit to get back up to game speed this season -- he has played in 55 games. But he's peaking for the fantasy playoffs, and that's a huge bonus for managers.
