Columbus Blue Jackets at Tampa Bay Lightning preview: Time to get in the groove

Time: 7:00 PM Eastern Time

Location: Amalie Arena

Broadcast/Streaming: SunS, FSOH

First off, take a deep breath. Yes, it’s disconcerting that after two games the Lightning have exactly one 5v5 goal and that five players share the team lead in points with 1. We’re only two games into the season and those games were separated by a span of five days off. There is no need to panic just yet.

Should they have beaten Vancouver on Thursday? For sure. Despite drastically outplaying the Canucks for the vast majority of the game, they couldn’t put the puck past Anders Nilsson.
