For the first time since last Saturday in Columbus, the Tampa Bay Lightning will take to the ice against an opponent wearing a different colored jersey. If that sentence sounds familiar, it’s because I wrote something similar last Thursday. Tampa Bay has been playing as frequently as an NFL team of late and I’m pretty sure they’re ready to start taking their aggression out on their opponents.
Hopefully, tonight’s game starts a pattern of regular play that allows the Lightning to find their rhythm on the ice. After playing just 2 games in the last 12 days, they should play 52 in the next 102 days.
