Tampa Bay Lightning at Columbus Blue Jackets: Game 35
Location: Nationwide Arena
Broadcast/Streaming: ESPN+, BSSUN, BSOH
Opponent SBNation Site: Jackets Cannon
The Tampa Bay Lightning are on a bit of a skid as the new year gets underway. They’ve gone three games without a win and, in two of the games, have looked rather lackluster defensively. The stuttered schedule and players missing due to injury or COVID protocols could explain away some of the struggles, but this organization didn’t get to the top of the mountain (twice) by relying on excuses to explain away poor play.
