Here we go! It’s the last week of workouts for the Tampa Bay Lightning and they’re going to kick things off on Monday with a scrimmage (streaming live at their website). It’ll be a good benchmark to see where the players are at conditioning-wise, and give us a hint as to what the coaching staff is thinking in regards to line combinations and defensive pairings.
Could we see Steven Stamkos skating on a top line? It sounds like everyone will get at least a couple of shifts, but how long he plays may depend on how he’s feeling.
