Looking for a bit of a spark, the Tampa Bay Lightning called up forwards Joel Vermin and Michael Bournival and inserted both of them into the lineup against the St. Louis Blues. In addition, Anton Stralman returned to action. Those additions sent Vladislav Namestnikov, Slater Koekkoek and Luke Witkowski to the press box as scratches. Andrei Vasilevskiy got his first back to back start with Ben Bishop backing him up. Below are the lines that head coach Jon Cooper used to start the game.
Ondrej Palat - Tyler Johnson - Nikita Kucherov
Alex Killorn - Valtteri Filppula - Brayden Point
Jonathan Drouin - Cedric Paquette - Joel Vermin
