The Tampa Bay Lightning present a formidable opponent for the San Jose Sharks, who have been trading wins and losses like it’s loose change. As the Sharks seek to stay in the playoff hunt, every win matters, and they’ll need a hefty dose of confidence (and spite) to roll off a loss to the bottom-of-the-standings Seattle Kraken to face the league-leaders tomorrow night.
The Lightning have had a relatively easy week of wins, losing just one game in their last five, with a margin of at least two goals in each win, reminding us all that, along with having a punishing defensive core, the Lightning can, and will score goals at will.
