This will be the last week of Tampa Bay Lightning hockey we’ll see for a little bit as the original Olympic break has only been sparsely populated with games (three, in fact) over its 20 day hiatus.
After Tuesday’s home game with the San Jose Sharks on Feb 1st, the Lightning won’t see AMALIE Arena again until the 23rd when the Edmonton Oilers come to town. In between those 22 days will be a back-to-back in Colorado and Arizona, and another game in New Jersey the following week.
All-in-all, it’ll be a good chance for the Lightning to rest, get healthy, and prepare for the 15-game March and 16-game April headed towards the team before the May playoffs.
