If the Tampa Bay Lightning were going to have two games before heading into a nice long holiday break, at least the games are going to be against the Florida Panthers. There is little chance the players (or coaching staff) are looking past the next two games and planning their holiday dinners. This evening’s match-up is the first of four for the Lightning against their in-state rivals as they look to extract a little revenge for the first-round elimination in last year’s playoffs.
