The Nashville Predators will face the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning today on the road, an imposing task for a team that’s had some recent struggles. The Lightning are coming off an 8-1 win over the division-rival Toronto Maple Leafs, though their April has been largely up and down.
Steven Stamkos leads the team in points with 90, in goals with 34, and is tied with Victor Hedman for the lead in assists with 56. Hedman’s assist rate has him second overall in team scoring, with 75 points; the rest of the team hovers below 60, with Alex Killorn’s 58, and 25 goals, both in third.
