Lightning kick off their preseason schedule with game against Carolina

Over the next month, the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Carolina Hurricanes will see each other quite a bit. Tonight, they host the Metro Division team to open up their preseason schedule.The two teams will meet up again on September 30th to close out the exhibition portion of the year, and then square off a week later with a home-and-home series to start the regular season. We’re dialing the clock back to the old Southeast Division days.

So, what will we see tonight? With decisions needing to be made on the second and fourth lines, the coaching staff has put together a roster with many of the bubble-players who will be completing for those open spots.
